Anybody knows how to replacement the rear floor? Do I need drilling spot welding?

Cutting and welding, if you want 100% stock then spotwelding is required, but you can get away with plug welding In my opinion.

Question, Are suburbans impossible to find in Russia? Because that truck I would call a lost cause here in the states, especially if the goal is no more rust.

 

[89Suburban]

Yeah over lap the good metal and plug weld it fuggit. And use caulk to seal the seams.

I weld MIG/MAG. I think that this is enough.
