[Metrodps]

Lets look at the rust ...... Not as bad as other but remember I am at t minus 12 and counting

Area around bolt area is cracked

This is a lot bigger has that darned rubber stuff on floor I did not have a knife to cut it. The guy said about two and a half hours and $150

Well five and a half hours in it today! Got the rear corners fixed and area under seat. Ran into problem on front floor! Had to order a repair panel from Summit $41.97 should be here Wednesday. So that will be another lost day of getting that fixed and another $50.

So lets see what it cost so far.

$100 for rear corners and seat build up.
$41.97 for the patch panel (I just sold one in all the parts )
$50.00 to weld it in
$22.00 for taxi to bring me to service station
$213.97 total expended on repairs


BTW Craig I helped keep you employed.....

i which my cab was in that good of shape.

when i replaced mine i bought the full drop in side for each side from LMC and it still wasent big enought to cover all the rust and the giant flinstone holes so i ended up fabing parts to get it looking good

OK two days work on it did a darn nice job on the floor section almost looks like factory! The rear we did not have enough metal to blend it.

This is the drivers seat area should last a long time!

Now all I have to do is replace both inner wheel wells on front. Finish packing and get rid of a few more things.

FOr you guys doing floor repairs, I know most times its a budget thing and all that, but has anyone thought of doing cargo/storage boxes with access thru the floors? Instead of just panels to fix the rest.

just wondering

sounds like a Jeep thing to me! 1950's to 80's under the seat Jeep thing

I don't have ANY rust on my rig but I have thought about cutting out a good sized section of floor under the rear seat and then building a storage box to recess into the floor and then using the piece of floor section that was removed as a lid with a piano hinge on one side and a locking mechanism on the other side.

Nice work so far. As I understand it, you are paying someone to do the weld repairs for you, correct?

I am curious as to what they are charging you... so I know how much money I should tell the wife I saved by BUYING a welder and doing it myself... I gotta justify the purchase some how!
