cab floor rust, advice please

[herculesinwyoming]

i started cleaning the interior today, heres my drivers side, i need ideas on what to do to stop the rust and protect it from getting worse.

there is one tiny pinhole that i can see light through. do i just grind it clean and paint it, anyway what would you do. :huh:

i would cut out the section where you saw a whole.

weld in a new piece, clean up the sruface rust, primer, then undercoat.

 

thats what i would do :)

Heres a link to skunks old thread. we fixed his floors by sanding them, using a rust remover, coverter works too, then primering with rustoleum paint. came out pretty good.

thanks for the tips, the rust is from the roof leaking for years while it was parked, lucky me the passenger side is super nice and clean just some light rust, the roof had a huge bondo chunk in it and holes from them useing the old school dent puller, they just used bondo to fill the holes, so when the roof was crushed in the holes let water in.

Thats nothing compared to what ive dealt with before. Clean it up ,remove it , neutralize it, coat it and you should be good to go. Dont let it scare you
