Re: Cab floor replacement order
I used a carpenters pencil width (roughly) myself. I wanted some room for play down the road. I plan on having my truck a very long time.
Let us know how the door hanging goes. |

Initial fit of the doors appear that all is aligning well. The doors close with ease, but I need to make adjustments to my hinges as both doors are too far in at the top. My main concern was alignment at the bottom of the door and floor but appears I have plenty of room for the outer rocker to fit. I will do a few more tests with the rockers on to see what kind of clearance issues might pop up.

I wish I had bought the regular floor and not the high hump.... could have just cut out the hump hole and saved a ton of work....

Loosely fit a rocker in place to see what it would look like. The rocker is a bit too long but if I can put my patch pieces in the exact same place, A and B pillar patches, I think I can make a few slices in the rocker to get it to sit much better. Just checking initial fitment for now. You can see the inner rocker has a slight wave to it, but that can be alleviated when clamped in place for welding.

Re: Cab floor replacement order
That is a dang good start on those rockers. You should be very pleased. Little finessing and you'll be done!

Good luck on the lower door pillars. I took a piece of cardboard and traced the original lower door pillar and matched up the replacement to get close to the original location..

Re: Cab floor replacement order
You’ve done awesome with getting that floor in and the rocker on there without any issues. I don’t know of any rockers available that don’t need a pie cut here or there. Great job!

Re: Cab floor replacement order
Well since you have your floor in place, you are really steps ahead. Pillars take some slicing and dicing. Make sure your floor doesn't move and just line your holes up.

Had a nice warm day yesterday so took a vacation day and knocked out what I could. Still lots of welding/grinding to do, but my rockers line up as they did, and my measurements came out the same. Happy with the results. Just need another few days to weld/grind. I put in 12 hours yesterday and didnt take many breaks at all, but feel pretty good about the progress. The patch that gave me the most issues was the A pillar, driver side. The patch would hit the inner rocker before being far enough in where the door bolts to the A pillar, had to bend that one around a bit. All others were pretty much spot on. I will have to do some outer rocker tweaking to get them to sit as flush as possible, but knew that with the original A/B pillar pieces in place. My plan now is to put my front fenders, cowl, and doors on. Make sure everything lines up as it should and then drill my bolt holes for lower A/B pillars. From there I will burn it all in. Once all burned in, I will sandblast and epoxy my fresh welds and likely haul it to the garage for the winter, out of the weather. What a chore though.

Re: Cab floor replacement order
Looks good. Im hoping to put some sealer down today myself.
Just an idea but I put a hole in the bottom of my A pillar for water to drain out and not collect. |

Re: Cab floor replacement order
Nice job on getting your pieces tacked in, what kind of welder are you using? I never could get my Hobart 140 to dial in to get perfect spot welds. Yours look perfect!

Re: Cab floor replacement order
I' doing a complete floor replacement on my 68 short box over the Christmas holidays. Do both the high hump and the low hump floors have the same 3/8" issue with the inner rocker panels or is it just with the high hump stamps?? I have a high hump in my truck but plan on picking up a low hump this weekend since that is what they have in stock?
