Re: My 1961 crew cab- XRMYCRU
these rear floor braces were a p.i.t.a.!
I sourced them from the orange cab, it was rust free, but the back panel and rear roof were toast (it was a dump truck).
The braces had some cracks and holes where the running boards were welded to them. I also had to cut an access hole to weld the back part of the cut on the brace from the inside.... so these braces would probably be real easy to do IF you were replacing the cab corners too... brace, inner floor, and then corner and it would be an easier job... regardless I got it.
I didn't have a patch for that little piece of inner rocker in front of the wiring harness trough ( in the first pic) , so I just made a pattern with a piece of paper, and then finessed the shape with some pliers, a vise, and a ball peen hammer!
