Keith, not yet. Some say they have to clearance issues some say they don't. I am currently putting the new floor in the cab and rebuilding my trans so I guess I will know soon enough. I will make sure I have plenty of pics when I do find out, that's for sure.

Thank jlsanborn. Not to concerned with the water pump, the tensioner on this system is really good and the belt wraps almost half the pulley. Guess we will find out once shes on the road and I beat on it.

Finally got the new cab floor in. Needed to test fit it on the chassis and make sure the doors still lined up. Figured I would take a few pics before I pulled it back off and did the rest of the metal work.

Overall the floor fit wasn't too bad. The front of the trans tunnel and outer ends needed some work and of course the passenger side where it meets the pinch weld was way off.

Here are some pics of the fit.

Truck looks great! I wish that i would have replaced my entire floor instead of pieces.

Thanks! I started the pieces route, but after I found every cab support rotted out I felt better just doing the whole floor.

Thanks Keith. I put it off for long enough, time to get this thing ready for some paint!

doesnt look too terrible, definitely worth doing the whole floor though it seems just some massaging.

I bought mine from LMC, I believe it was TriPlus. The only reason I bought from them was I got free shipping on it. Not sure how many companies are actually repopping it but I heard only 2.

Still working on getting all the metal work done to this thing. Decided to toss a beside up to get an idea of where the tire would sit. Talk about motivation to get my ass moving on this thing!
