I have purchased all of the patch panels to complete my cab floor over a period of years. When I started this project the whole floor panel was not yet available, had it been I may very well have gone with it. Not only would it save you time and welding, the cost is about the same once you start buying all of the panels to replace.

There are other things to consider here as well. You really need to brace the cab to hold it shape prior to cutting anything but with an entire floor panel this would be doubly important. Having some sort of rotisserie I would think is a must as well to handle such a large section. I always say "Do your Homework", in this case I would really do some research.

PS.. Guitplayer, I would like to see some before pictures of your toe Boards, mine is rotted out in the same location. My front pilars are not as far gone as yours but I still need to address the Kick Panels and Hinge Pockets. I'm replacing the steps as well.
