Re: 56 Chevy (RIP)

6Dof, I agree! Makes a lot more work repairing this level of rust vs just buffing out some old paint and rolling.

dsraven, I did a whole floor replacement on my '72, which had very similar rust patterns with the A, B pillars, floors, etc. They are awesome replacement pieces! However when I did that truck, I had access to a rotisserie, which I don't have now. It could have been done, but besides the toe board area, the floors of the '56 are solid. I know the replacement floors come with cab braces, inner cab corners, etc already installed, but I just went the piece by piece route on this one. Prior to cab removal and bracing the door openings, I did measure door openings, mounting holes, square...I also learned that that hard way with the '72.

Tomorrow i'll be installing the driver side inner / outer cab corners as well as B pillar. More pics to come.
