Whole floor or patch panels?
 

What would be the best route. Replace the whole floor with braces or patch panels? I know I have to replace both rockers, both front door posts, both kick panels and two small cab floor braces. The floor itself is just rusted near the rockers on both sides.

I would replace the whole floor the patch panels are great if you know how to tig weld if you do then do the patch panels. the problem I have ran into is the metal of the origional floor is thinner and thicker in places so when you try to weld the patch in with a mig your spot weld will pop or explode because your to hot in that area so you turn your welder down then up ect with a tig it doesnt matter how thin or thick it is you control the heat with the petal

I'm working with a mig welder. Leaning toward doing the whole floor as one piece that way I know I have a nice solid floor and I won't have to clean up the underside.

Buy the time you buy all the prices you be better off doing the hole floor. Less work to do the whole floor.
