where to get all this metal? UPDATE 5/8

[NEK5]

well they started out the same but with me (a 300 lb bastard) on the drivers seat it kinda pushes it down making it crack and turn into a bigger hole because i dont usually have someone with me and if i do its only for 10 min....plus the hole on the drivers side was in the back of the seat so sitting in it alot would make it alot worse than passenger side with a hole in the front

Where can I find dimond plate steel for a floor pan?

i dont think you are gonna find any pre fabbed but if you try to do it yourself let me note it is not easy or cheap. i bought my diamond plate at a metal shop and for all the steel and to have them put the bends in the rear floor, it was over $400 and the price of steel has gone up alot since then.

Yeah, why is it that the driver side of my truck has more rust than the passenger side?

Maybe one of the previous owners had poor bladder control?

I really hope not

Well I was looking for something to put over the floor pan to add for looks because I love diamond plate . Also, I wouldn't do the hole floor, just where your feet go.

takes a little more than "just a welder" to do it properly.. Lots of body tools can come into play to do proper sheetmetal work...

PM me when the time comes if ya need some advice...
