Thread: Shop Truck (True Spirit) Project

I've sent the doors, hood and front fenders to the body shop (sure hope I have better luck with this one than I did with the last one )so they can get started on media blasting and body work.

I decided to put the floor pans in before I pulled the cab and sent it off. I had ordered new pans for it and when they came in they both looked good at a glance and I noted the tag on the passenger side said it was US made. They were primed in different color, but I didn't think too much about that.

The passenger side fit great, just a little tweaking and trimming and it fell into place. The drivers side turned out to be made in Taiwan and was a MAJOR PIA to get lined up close enough to use. The hole for the body mount bolt even had to be recut, but their in and the metal on both pans is even thicker than the original floor.

There a lot a surface rust on the rest of the floor, but fortunately it's still solid and just looks worse than it is. The Media blasting should take care of that.

I've got a couple of 3 day weekends coming up so I should be down to a bare frame soon. I'll be sand blasting that myself (can't wait for that ).
