Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 2,168 | I have a friend who works at a steel fabrication place, and he can get me metal for cheap. I'm going to replace my floorboards. What metal should I use. 16ga? It looks like the cab may throw some curve balls at me, so should i attempt this? I'm a good welder, and feel i can do it. I want to do it, so i can say that i did. Plus any pointers you guys can think of before i start this would be great.

Worked fine and the battery will be under the hood. My spud truck 53 chev. got reproduction floors cause I wanted it stock. If you a good welder it should be easy, I weld like chicken poop. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 264 Member | | Member Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 264 | I use 18 to 22 gauge for repairs. Just remember the thicker it is, the harder it is to work with. Go with the heavier gauge if you don't have to do a lot of shaping. | | |
