I knew the floor was rusty under the carpet and patch sheet metal, but didn't know it was this bad til I drilled out the pop rivets and patches. Good thing I bought a 'new' bed from Mike Krug in AZ last week. Photos of the 'new' bed to come. Here is the floor as it stands now…

Here's a pic of the cross member that fell off the bottom of the truck when I unbolted the bench seat. That's how rusted the underside of the truck is…

Floor pan shots…it's worse than it looks in the pics. Some of those dark sections have patches in them. Any suggestions on whether to replace the entire floor pan, or patch it with panels? I figure a complete new floor pan would be easiest and cost less with my body guy?
