#2 Right doesn't look too bad, that's usually the first to go. #6 Left is toast though, same as on mine.

Getting her done though... Can't say I've ever seen a pretty much complete frame lifted onto it's side with a cherry picker though...where there's a will, there's a way!

Used the cherry picker and a 2 ton come along to lift the body.. There are 5 holes that need attention

got both #6 holes repaired..
both #2 are getting repaired as well there are paper thin edges on them...
DS#7 well im going to have to make a complete new mount
what DS#6 was..

Not sure of your budget but you can get an entire floor pan for $450 with free shipping. If you only had a few holes I would say just patch them up and call it a day, but it seems you have more then a few and the floor is prolly pretty weak. If you dont care about looks you could just cut out the rust and weld in some sheet metal, thats what I did since its a floor and nobody will see it under the carpet.

Here is the entire floor pan, its cheaper to get the entire thing then it is to buy halfs and have to pay for shipping.

Talk to RideTech too. Killer shocks, front control arms, and front sway bar. Also DSE for rear control arms and rear sway bar.

Thanks miles I didn't that full one piece floor pans where available..
Mike Monte is ~1.5 hours from my home.. Maybe they can get their hands on one.. Save a lot on shipping..
Conrad that's the general direction I'm heading
