    Replacement floor options for 84' K10?

    Hi everyone, Seems like a good time now to think about ordering replacement floors, rockers and corners for my 84' K10. Initially I had though of patching them as this is a beat up truck, but why do a shitty job when I can do it right and do it once? Last week I measured the floor metal...
