Thanks Pat and Deuce4Papa; This is just more like a cap to the firewall and front sides of the cab. It come out about a foot in front of the windshield and 4 inches down.
It's allready been sanded down and treated on the inside with that green rust Inhibitor.
The bottom 1 1/2 inches of this cap was cut away to get rid of the really bad rust, the top part is solid just very thin. Everything below the 4 inches will be new 14 gage sheet metal, Firewall and floor, sides are still in great shape. Pat, I am planning on fiborglassing
the the walls and floor inside after all the sheetmetal is complete. This way if I have any issue's with a heater core or moister from A/C condencer, it will not rust again.
The weird thing is the floor was rusted thru on the drivers side not the passenger side like one would think. The fibor glass will be a new thing for me, I've only ever used it in a bondo type mix to keep moister out. Never used that matting type. Kurt
