A well overdue update!

[Picture 1]
For the past few months I've been working on and off this truck, mostly repairing the rust on the cab. It seemed to have a growing theme of "Bondo over rust". Both outer corners had been replaced previously though were poorly welded in and had bondo slathered over them. I removed all the bondo and touched up the welds to my satisfaction.

[Pictures 2,3,4,5]
As for the floor, I hacked out the section with the galvanized welded over and bought a new floor piece(even though when the piece arrived it wasn't exactly what I ordered, but I made it work) and proceeded to cut it to the right dimensions.

[Pictures 6,7,8]
But before I could burn the new floor in, I needed to cut out a spot next to the hinge pocket that had rusted through and once again was hidden by bondo(I welded in that hole in the cab brace as well) Fabbed up a replacement panel from the old floor and put that in to appear factory.

[Pictures 9,10]
Then it was finally time for the floor to be put in! Luckily I still had the old section of floor to fill in the hole above the new floor.


So once the passenger side gets finished up, its off to the driver's. Thankfully its nowhere near as bad!
