Apparently, I didn't take photos of the right floor rebuild, but as I said earlier, it was pretty much a repeat of the left side. With one glaring exception. On the left side I had a decent door for trial fitting prior to brazing everything in place. The original right side door was not re-usable or reparable. When it had been damaged prior to my owning it, the inner panel that supports the door hinges was badly damaged. At the time, new re-production doors were pushing $1,000 if you included freight & sales taxes. In retrospect, that might of been my best bet. After checking Craigslist daily, I found a door that was rough but fixable for 50 bucks.
After sandblasting the door, I painted insides with rust prevention black paint, installed new outer skin & lower inside panel, brazed it up, did necessary grinding & sanding with body filler & shot it with two coats of Viper red . I admit my painting is a little rusty, like the rest of my skills. OTOH, painting as I go gives the metal protection & gets paint in places the might not have gotten it if door were mounted in place.
Now I had a usable door for test fitting my right side of cab floor, rocker, cab corner, floor braces, etc prior to brazing them up.
