Re: Cab floor repair

You can look through my build thread (link "The Rebuild of Creeping Death after the wreck" in my signature line) and see what I did. I didn't take the cab off the frame, and I didn't need to brace the cab anywhere. I did one side at a time. I was in no rush, and took my time. This was my first attempt at sheetmetal/patch panel repair. I had to fabricate numerous pieces all on my own with simple hand tools. The main thing is access to a welder. I also bought a cheap-o Harbor Freight hammer and dolly set.
