It needs some help all over, but not least of all in the floors. Here's the passenger side: [img] http://www.cesa12.k12.wi.us/gallery/albums/ar1964C10/abm.sized.jpg[/img] The driver's side is similar (several more gory photos on my website) and the [uninstalled] partial patch panels that came with the truck (picture below) don't begin to cover everything that needs to be replaced. I've been looking for a few days and it seems that what I have are pretty much the only size available, so now I'm asking if there are options I'm not yet aware of that would cover a greater surface area. Here's what I've got (one per side, obviously): [img] http://www.cesa12.k12.wi.us/gallery/albums/ar1964C10/abe.sized.jpg[/img] Thanks for any info!

Unless you are planning a 100 point resto, most of the floor can be hand formed. Weld in the custom pieces that are available and make the rest. Our 60-66 trucks aren't the hot item on the aftermarket scene yet but it's getting better.
Good luck,

I thought about that, but here in salty northern Wisconsin I don't think there's going to be anything local and I don't have the means to travel south for a cab. That pretty much leaves the option of fixing what I have. No 100-point resto here -- just looking for the easiest way to get a large expanse of metal to replace a large expanse of rust and figured if I could get it in one piece instead of piecing it together, well.... Brent | | | | | Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 55 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 55 | I also looked and found only the individual pans for each side.
Here is a pic of mine...NOTE: I had a buddy do the work on mine after he did his 64 and a couple of other 66's, and he said due to the aftermarket design there is no way around a little creative manufacturing during replacement, but I'm happy with what he accomplished on mine.

Ah, well. Maybe they'll be available by the time I'm actually ready to do the work ... or more likely, the day AFTER I patch it together on my own. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 154 Member | | Member Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 154 | Brent, i hear ya man. its no fun with the floor boards. i have a very wide area to cover with my 67 LWB. After sitting out in my uncles field for god-knows how long, there basically is no floor. sooo...yes. sheet metal from an old whisky sign seems to be the prescription. Rust-sconsin isn't nice to use steel lovers.
but hey. best of luck.
