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.
