I have a '69 chevy C10 I'm planning on replacing a complete floor and firewall. Should I do the floor first, then fire wall? This is my first time with body work.I been getting a lot of good info off this sight. I bought the truck thinking that it would be on the road in a couple of weeks. Now eight months later I'm down to the frame. LOL

Do you have any pictures? How much of the floor and firewall are you planning to cut out? If your removing the entire firewall or the entire floor you will need to weld bracing into the cab to stop it from twisting.

Planning on bracing really well. The plan right now is to cmplete floor and complete firewall (AC). Thinking about welding the floor first and using selftapping screws to the fire wall. Then do the fire wall. Just thinking?
