a complete floor pan is a huge project to install because there are supports under the floor that have to be drilled on the spotwelds and left behind. but if your pan is truly gone, it might be a better option.

I gave this advice in your other thread, but try to avoid spreading your money and time around. mount the body, fix the floor, get it running. none of those tasks are a "sunday afternoon to monday morning" kind of project. I have seen a lot of projects on this website come and go, more than get finished. the guys who finish stick to a plan. the guys who buy parts build box forts and sell the project when its time to actually start working because a huge pile of parts is daunting.

just being real with you. I want to see it finished as much as you do, I love seeing these old trucks cruising around.
