67 (Crew Cab) C30

[Getter-Done]

I placed the floor the first time here.


This is Pass. side lower A-pillar side.


Driver side lower A-pillar side


And some pliers I modified to clamp the floor to the Toe board.

very interesting modified pliers, I may have to borrow that idea from you.

Thanks
I got the idea from my pliers like this.



They would not work without modification.
So I bought a $3 pair + (20% discount )
from Harbor Fr

Got the floor pan back in location.
Next I will work on the lower A-pillars.
They came in the mail yesterday.


And of course the Cab Footwell Patches.

Measuring for my roof cut.



I am still fine tuning the floor fit.

I got these body hammers at a yard sale a few years ago.

Got to find the right ones to fix this gap.

[Getter-Done]

This combo of hammer and slapper fixed it.

I am still fitting the floor pan.
I decided to bolt in a center hump I got from a swap meet.

I used long bolts and used some of them as studs to
line all the floor pan and Firewall up even more.

Here some more progress on my Floor.
First of all, I am still debating on whether
to incorporate the jack handle stamping into
my new floor pan. Of course I would weld
this in under the rear seat. It is the only
solid section in the original floor.

I finally got the big gap closed between the toe panel
and the new floor pan.
The reason this was such a problem. Is the original welds
in the toe panel was not welded very good from the factory.
Maybe a Friday evening or Monday morning (production line) thing.
About 6" up the toe panel and 14' across the bottom there
was a 1" gap when I pulled the floor mat out.
This caused the cab to settle over time.
I have it all Squared Up and fitting again Finally.

Looking good and I love the adapted vise grips,too, great idea.

[Getter-Done]

This is What helped me the most.
I bolted the best fitting center hump I had.
(without using the Original one)
I used long bolts as studs screwed in from
the bottom
(So I could pull the floor hump down with a washer and nut )

And the bolts I could start from the top side,
I put nuts and washers on them and slowly
tighten the nut and
worked with each bolt till I got the
Trans hump pulled down tight.
This put the toe panel and the floor fit good in the
front center of the floor.

Thanks Randy
The other pliers That I found to do
this was to Heavy and was trying to bend
the sheet-metal.

That is a great way to use those cool pliers and the hi hump to get that gap lined up.

Here's a Picture or 2
of my current Cab fixture.

Now that my floor-pan is fitting like I want it too.
I cut some more tubing and drill holes in the tubes
to use the seat mounting bolts
and welded that to my cross-bracing.
So I can remove the floor Again

I chose to do this for easy access
to the foot-well patches that I'm going to
replace. Once I fit both foot-well patches,
I will tack them in & put the floor back.


Then I will repair the lower A-Pillar.
Doing it this in this order I can keep
the location of the 2 lower a-pillar
and lower fender mounting holes in
the ( same ) location.
I used a small dremel tool
on the spot welds. It worked good
for this area.








.

[Getter-Done]

More pictures of foot-well removal.





Used this dremel with cut-off
wheels that came with it
to stay out of the lower A-pillar.


I lined the patch up and scribed
it on the back side for my cut line.






.

[Getter-Done]

.
My next step will be sand blasting.
and rust treatment.








.

[Getter-Done]

Since I am replacing the Toe-board
I removed the floor braces that
attach to the toe-board for easier
installation of the floor pan.






This is a tool I made too break
the welds loose.
