The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk rusted out floorboards/ gearing change

The floorboards are pretty rusted out in my 52 pickup, does anybody have any recommendations as to who makes the best replacement parts, I've seen at least 2 different styles. Next, do you think I need to remove the cab to do this job properly. If so, do I need to make some sort of jig to hold it when I cut the floorboards out. I'm also thinking about doing the Patricks rearend gear change, any thoughts on that mod? I have a 4-speed in the truck now. Dave
