Going Inside
The floor pans are in pretty bad shape as well. I even think the cab mount on the drivers side has some hefty rust holes in it as well. It is so bad I don't even know what the floor is supposed to look like. Someone had patched the original holes by just welding in something to cover them, then that rusted and they welded another panel over that...you guessed it...it was rusted through in some places.
If someone could take a picture of their cab when it was stripped down so that I could see how the pans are supposed to look or if you know of somewhere I can get replacement floor pans, please contact me.
The next thing I will do is to drop the headers and fix the leaking freeze plug. While I have the headers off, I might go ahead and pull the heads, and have a machine shop touch them up. I can also check the bores for scoring.
