The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts 46 Chevy COE, floor replacement or repair?

Hello, new member here: https://www.stovebolt.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=767373#Post767373

Anyway, is there a company that sells replacement sheet metal floors? I have a couple rust-through spots right where the left foot would rest if someone would be driving it. I don't have any pics, as the rig is sitting at a friends house in another city.

Any companies out there that supply replacement sheet metal/ patch panels for these big rigs?

Thank you

This is what I need, this pic is from another member, and the vehicle is a 50's chevy. but this is the same spot where I need the panel: http://thumb16.webshots.net/t/64/564/8/48/95/2073848950102454676rAsAta_th.jpg

You can try Jim Carters classic trucks. That's where I got alot of my 47 2-tons parts.

Could just make a partial floor pan like I did. Mine was really only bad up front so I cut it half out and fabbed me a new one.

My rig is a 46, would that make a difference?

On my 46 COE I had all the rusted out sheet metal fabracated at a sheet metal shop. I would think they would be hard to find. You can look at Bill Marlows 46 COE pics in the Gallery. You do realize there are 2 plywood inserts in the floor,one on each side.

Hello Dan and congrats on the COE purchase. As far as I know, no one is making and selling replacement floor parts for these trucks. Mine had a little rust through in the same area on the passenger side. The guy who helped me with the body work just fabbed some sheet metal to replace the rusted stuff. Not real difficult. I am currently working on the floor pans on my '59 GMC and it is not real difficult with some basic tools and some sheet metal. I wish I had done the reapir on my COE as I think I could have done a better job.
Let us know when you get it home and take lots of pictures. We love pics!
