mcordero8 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 When I put mine it kinda did the same thing, you have to hit the shit out of it with a hammer and that will take care of the problem. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
sebpv Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 ?? Im not sure I understand. One thing I can say is that I didnt quite have the right tools, so I just sorta pressed down on the panel with my hand but the front side of tte patch actually lifted so my weld isnt perfect there. Plus I eyeballed my patch when I cut it so the mount corner is ugly... I will actually try to recreate the curves like the stock pan Quote Link to comment
rusty_67 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 The floor pan I bought was about 22ga also. And yes, it did the same thing. I'm not that concerned about it. You could try the hammer route, but it may come back. You could also bend up a thin gauge c channel (maybe 0.375x1.5x18in or so), and plug weld it to the underside of the pan. That would stiffen it up nicely. not so great if you're going for an original look though. 1 Quote Link to comment
sebpv Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 current plan is to fully restore it...I just dont know if restored to time period with correct paint and correct emission system or just make everything look good and sellable <--- 'cause thats the ultimate goal...The weber carb, the floor pans, the missing emissions system and the custom cab bushings throw it off...Anyway, thats all gonna be on a build thread once I start sandblasting. Oh and I still have my red long bed that I posted previously. Keeping that one as my DD. Sorry for the thread jacking... 1 Quote Link to comment
rusty_67 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Got the new drivers side rocker in. The fit wasn't very good, so I had to do quite a bit of massaging. It'll work ok though. Quote Link to comment
rusty_67 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 Had to add some patches in front of the rocker as well. Quote Link to comment
