Awesome tutorial vid man. Also I just purchased a 1974 Nissan 260z, both of
the floor pans are just shit from rust now. Basically would this same exact
process apply to the 260z? Also could you MIG weld or would it have to be
TAC?
My 1984 S10 gas tank is underneath, should I take it off?
Do you not neaten up the welds after you’re done?
hey i got a 1976 chevy c10 the floor is crap so should i go with drop in or
weld in?
I have a 1990 Chevy. My driver side floorboard has a rust hole in it. It’s
on left side of the floorboard right up against where the door meets.
What’s a good way to fix this ?
So you did the floor pan because it was unsafe. what about the cab mount?
the thing is gone. perfect shot at 5:47 you see the rubber and frame
bracket.
How do you change the hole floore
Thanks, I appreciate it. Yeah I was thinking I’m going to take a video of
the rust I’m needing to replace. And I can post it on here. Then you would
see exactly what I’m talking about. Once again. Thanks.
What do you do about the lap underneath? Won’t water get between the
laps and cause the welds to rust?
Thats a great idea, I’ve seen it done with rivets before and it works out
pretty well!
want to take a trip to PA and replace the floor pans in my 79 caballaro?
ill give you a 6pack of your choice and some good company ha ha.
great vid. i just did this on the drivers side of my 72 chevy truck. now on
to the passenger side
Say I’m refurbishing a vehicle (1979 second generation Pontiac Formula),
that kind of is a show car. Is there a way to do this that will retain some
form of the aesthetic appearance while also making it safe?

Great job man! How is the floor doing?
I have everything I need to do this but my kick panels are also rusted out
and I have nothing to weld the outside edge of the floor pan to. Any ideas
what to do? I’m thinking of welding in a patch panel to the kick panel but
then the floor pan will have to be trimmed to fit.
Wow! You made that look so easy, Great Video, My 84 F150 has some rust
where you can see through but tiny holes, Do recommend still replacing the
floor panels??
I guess you could call it a rocker panel also but it looks like it’s welded
to kick panel but since it’s all rusted out, I have no idea how it is
supposed to be.
Nope. If this was going to be a professional restoration then I think it’d
be a good idea to replace the cab mounts though (which act as the
subfloor). My crossmembers were in good shape though, so welding in a new
floor pan was all that had to be done to make it nice and strong.
Exactly what I am going to do with my 78 Dodge W150 4X4. However, since I
do not weld, am gonna seat with gasket material and about a zillion rivets.
Thanks for the video…
Did you have any subfloor support, crossmember repair necessary?
