Fortunately the wood floor in my 71 Suburban is in fine shape, so no replacement needed. The spare tire well has a few rust holes on the bottom.

I replaced the factory 20 gallon gas tank with a 40 gallon tank made of 1/8" steel plate back in 1973 during the first Arab oil embargo. Back when gas shot up to 60 cents a gallon! I do need to drop the tank and replace the sender though.

Glad to see you're making progress!
