Cutting out the rusty floor in a vehicle and welding in a replacement floor pan or custom cut sheet metal is a long and tedious job. I documented the process from start to finish to offer a complete guide. My vehicle is a very rusty 1980 Toyota pickup, so the rust holes also went up the inside walls of the cab. I used a reproduction floor pan, but also had to fabricate a lot of additional pieces from sheet metal because the floor pans do not cover all of the areas affected by rust.

  • Here is a tip for easy sound deadening removal. Get a bunch of dry ice, pack it on top of the sound deadening. Once it's cold remove the ice and tap it with a hammer and it will shatter and pop right off.

  • The step drill bit requires a pilot hole. It’s not made to drill its own hole, but to make an existing hole bigger. I think it’s usefully customary to create paper templates before cutting the old out, so you know what you are doing after the old shape is gone.

  • Hello 6th Gear! I especially like that you took the time to talk about the value of one tool over another, like the aviation snips versus the tin snips for cutting the sheet metal. Sharing your knowledge here is very much appreciated. I am a very amateur sheet metal welder, (MIG), myself and seeing you weld your sheet metal without too, too many "blow-throughs" was encouraging. I have a 40 year old Volvo "Brick" to do some rusty floor repair on, and your video has really inspired me to have at it! And like you indicated, after you clean up the welds, use the seam sealer over the etch-primer in order to seal up any pinholes from moisture creeping in from the other side. And by the way, your bloopers at the end are hilarious. It was great to see your sense of humor. Keep up the GREAT work: your videos are so down-to-earth, informative, and entertaining - all rolled into one! Thank you very much!

  • Excellent how-to video! Very Informative and I like how organized it is. Videos on auto metalwork by others commonly have long boring moments as they ramble on or try to figure out what to say or do next. Not yours. I was looking for tips as I prepare to patch the floors in my '81 Trans Am. It has very small amounts of rot not nearly as bad as your truck. Very nice music choices too. Liszt, Rosini, Tchaikovsky were nice to hear. Very soothing as I go out to my garage now and try to patch as well as you. Thanks.

  • Anyone that knows how to do patchwork correctly will say that you should never just cut everything out all at once that’s rusted. It should be done in sections using the pieces you cut out as templates for your new pieces. cutting out large sections at once without making patterns for new pieces will make it difficult to replace and patch all the metal in a way that it was originally put together. It’s important to take measurements of the pieces you cut out and make card paper templates of all the pieces you remove so when the time comes to reconstruct everything, you don’t have to do any guesswork as to what size or measurements your patch pieces should be. The more you know 🌈⭐️

    • I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t know if I could work that way by creating templates when the metal all around it is still rusty. I like to remove all the bad and then come up with a game plan from a fresh start and rebuild it in the reverse order. Then again, I am far from a professional. I’m just a guy in my home garage with simple tools. If I ever had a high dollar project, I’d hire someone.

    • @@6thGearGarage I understand.. i’m just saying it’s a lot less guesswork. If you make panels based off of what you cut out instead of trying to guess that’s all my friend you’re finished product looks good unfortunately a lot of times when you don’t go off of making patterns off the pieces you cut there is an excess of metal introduced, or a deficiency of metal that’s creating pot canning, which is where the model pops in and out the manufacture had a certain amount of metal in mind that was beaded to prevent this type of thing bottom line your product looks good and it was just a suggestion to make things easier..

Plus it’s not an original numbers matching truck, so that really makes me wonder what it would be worth. I’m going to keep it around and use it as a shop truck for hauling parts, lumber and 3wheeler. This has been a challenge to restore, but helped me learn what I’m capable of. 🙂

  • Was ur cab sagging down any? I have a 97 F250 where the cab mount is detached from the floor and now the door is pinching with the front fender. Curious how would one would know where to lift the cab exactly to install new floor pan pieces to match with cab mount

    @frontporchpickin289@frontporchpickin2894 күн бұрын
    • This cab was not sagging, but I had a similar problem on my 1985. Here is a short video showing the repair. kzhead.info/sun/aryklNKqqpNsZXk/bejne.html I would lift the cab by the other solid mounting points and support it with the door/fender in place until you can see the gaps are correct. Then repair it in that position. You may want to weld some temporary bracing in place to be sure the cab does not shift at all while you're repairing it. If it's sagging that much, it sounds like you have a lot more rot to cut out and replace than I did.

    • ​@@6thGearGarageI would be a little worried about stiffness of the body mount bracket. The original had stiffening darts that your piece didn't. There is a channel called Fitzees Fabrication, he does rust repair with simple tools, check it out. He makes ribs using a hammer and a vise plus stuff he had laying around. Compared to what you started with your repair is good. Thanks for sharing,
