Thanks for you help

I have used rear fender front patch panels from Jim Carter and they were good quality. I got the floor panels from Classic Industries because JC didn't have the ones with the toeboard. The rest of the stuff I got from JC.

I installed the right side one and the fit wasn't absolutely perfect (about 1/8" off on one side), but it was pretty darn close. You'll need to buy a cab mount kit that has the extra large dished washers with it, because the floor panels usually do not include the doubler washer where the front cab mount bolt goes through.

The quality of the individual panels was very good. Installing them was another story. Fitting the two panels together at the floor seam was the challenge. Mine required some reshaping and welding in some additional metal to fill the gaps. I have seen other posts that indicate that this is not an uncommon problem. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,275 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,275 | While most patch panels come with extra length to them, these aftermarket floor halves come up short in the middle where the transmission cover goes. You will need to put the cover in place to check for fitment, then weld in what they shorted you.
