Well i am replacing my floor of my truck.. man it was a mess. no rear body mounts, the tailpan completely gone and i keep finding more bondo!!! GRRR well its all cut out now time to start new! Now i just gotta figure out how to fit the tailpan in there.. hmmm

woah! Looks like there was alot of rust!

 

[stockk5]

haha ya there was a good amount the whole tailpan was rotted out and the body mounts were gone,, the truck lived in maine for many years.. so all those winters got to it finally.

 

[84gmcjimmy]

where did you get the floor from?

 

[stockk5]

a local shop that does nothing but older trucks/cars called auto body specialties.. i think the name is the website. cost me $218US for the 3pieces of the floor i needed.

ooh awesome. I need my floor replaced, and I got quoted around 800 for the pieces and to weld them in. I think.

The only thing I wonder about using the three pieces are there are no bracing hold all three together. The three pieces are generally sheet metal patch panels. They my not have the ribs or reinforced mounting areas for the body mounts. Did you get the three floors pieces (front, left rear, right rear) and the tailpan?

You may have to fit them tack weld, pull them out and lay in some bracing on the bottom.

yeah i just have the sheetmetal stuff i gotta lay it all out, the floor supports from the old floor are still good, but there was rusty spots everywhere on the edge so we decided to take it all out. i will prob cut the old ones off the floor and re weld them onto the new ones.
