Thank you 68 Four on the Floor. I really need to learn to paint at a rudimentary level.

Rc4mike - I might be mistaken though I believe this one is a pickup. It has an eight foot bed with a winch just behind the cab. Pretty cool old piece.

For my cab floor, I'm going to use chassis saver, then enamel, then Hurculiner. The chassis saver and enamel are very forgiving on going over rust or non degreased areas though I recommend cleaning and whipping down still. The Hurculiner I'v yet to use but I'm sure its like most all the bedliner stuff out there. You can spray or roll it on.
Just my take, to each their own. chassis saver is 40 a qt, the enamel was on sale for 30 a gallon, and the hruculiner on ebay you can find for like 77 gallon cheapest I found.

Thanks 99 to Life - I can handle a brush.

Thanks Marc, I sprayed Lizard Skin on the floors of the black truck and have the sprayer so may go that route again. Gotta research if it needs to be sprayed over paint or if it will work on bare metal.
Hit it hard Saturday finishing the floor installation, ended up needing to do more fabrication along the back edge installing a flat 90 degrees (original floor support was crowned a bit), all took way longer than expected. Rather than quit for the day in the middle of it, we blew off my 35th class reunion so we could finish the plug welds in the floor. Worked late Saturday then early Sunday morning to finish up the section under the seats. Work sure takes a toll on Suburban building time.
Our plan is to continue encouraging / training our Grandson's so in a few years they can be really productive on the builds. Wife and I can really use the help!
