Those floors aren't that bad. It looks like it was scaley rust that was de-scaled and painted. I would trust those floors over replacement sheetmetal, but I have recently come to the conclusion that re-pop parts SUCK. So, I might be biased.
Thanks for the info on the mount bolts Steve, I just thought it was odd because it makes it tough to change the body bushing if they fail. As far as the floors go the pits are very deep. I imagine that if you hit them with a blaster you would have Swiss cheese. I am building this truck for longevity so I am going to give them a very close look once I get the rest of the interior out and move on from there.

Didn't get any work done on the actual truck this weekend but I did get the cab and bed dollies made.

Now I just need to gather the man power to put the cab and bed on them!
