Mines a '74. Normal rust spots. I've never installed floor pans before. I've never done a rocker repair before, have above average fabrication and metal working skills and tools, am not at all afraid do give it a crack but, at the same time, I don't want to cut the wrong piece or too much when I start nippin' so that I have to clean up a "didn't know any better" mess.
Here's the damage I've gotta deal with. Basically the PO's let mud, sand, leaves, and other crud build up in the rear portion of the fenders where it just ate everything.
That combined with the usual drainage problem into the cab area and the floors are toast. Drivers from the inside
Drivers from the underside
Passengers is almost exactly the same
Passengers underside
Both sides have gotten slightly into the rocker but only the front of it, the rest looks solid.
So thats where i am. a few questions:
What's the right way to fix this? Replace the inner and outer rocker and floor pan OR patch the inner rocker and repair the floor pan OR ?? Half drop in (4,5) or half replace (2,3) pan?
2 lbs of plumbers putty and some chicken wire? Anyone know of a writeup covering this that I can check out? $100 + my time OR $800 materials and labor to have the shop that's gonna paint it, do it? Any help and guidance is appreciated.
