Nice 👍. Progress feels good I'm sure as it does for me too. Looks solid .

Progress does feel good. Pretty soon I'll be able to cross out almost all of my cab floor "to do" list. And thanks, it is very solid now.

Thanks! And thanks for taking the time to read my thread.

Another successful evening in the garage even if it doesn't seem like it. At first it seemed like this pan was money in the bank and that I would not have to modify it at all. My exciment was short lived though as I realized I had to make the same backslash slice to close the gap as I had to make to the other side rear pan. Then on top of that, I had to make a lengthwise slice through 3/4 of the panel because even with the backslash cut, it was still 1/4" low of the cab corner. Now that I've got those two splices cut and welded back together, it is sitting pretty nice. I also took a gander at my to do list tonight for the first time in a while and was able to cross off all but three of my tasks for the floor repair!

Sorry to hear about the adjustments on the pan... It's those kinds of things that makes doing this work take twice as long... I'm battling my cab corners as we speak and also had to battle rockers, radio panel, and cab supports so I know the extra time your putting in.

They keep telling me it's worth it though...

Keep up the good work!

Thanks, how are your cab corners fitting? I had mine out last night and they are not made to the 90° that the cab floor is. If I set it flat along the back of the cab, the side is sitting up at least an inch from where it needs it to be. Looks like they will be the worst fit so far.
