When I start on the door post I’ll get you some pics of the door adjustment plates and where they mount.

Got the most technical floor pan placed yesterday. Between the gas pedal, fender bolts, air box bolts , and brake/low gear lever opening. This was a busy layout. I’ll get the last small section under the dimmer and throttle linkage knocked out this morning and that should be the floor done!

Wow!! Great work. You will have to cut the door jambs down to almost nothing and make sure that you have the correct floor to rocker heights for them to fit. Check out the pic of the cab corner. There is a 1/2 inch drop from floor to rocker and another drop for the door sill. Technical but...

I finally got the pass floor completed. A week of tough sledding. I’m going to spend all day tomorrow building the last 2 floor panels. The low shifter and air brake levers will be technical but we will get it in. Then we can start to do the fun stuff like the suicide doors.

I have the passenger floor welded in and built the top angle piece built but not welded in. More pics tomorrow.

Yea I’ve been trying to learn video editing and beating that floor to pieces !!! Good thing yours is in tact!!

M Mine is an A1 and it has an automatic transmission. The dip stick door is on the passenger side in front of the seat on the floor. I made the new door 5x5 ish. There are vertical panels at the rear of the inner fenders that bolt to the welded in floor pan bolts pictured.

Fender bolts

Hey guys. I got the passenger side floor cut to size, trans door cut in , and drilled for plug welds. I will get it welded in tomorrow. OH! I also got the fender bolts cut out of the old floor, turned off the 16 ga on the lathe, and ran a die down the threads.

Engineers were building for UmpaLumpas?!

Yours looks good!!

Funny. I’m editing mine as we speak. Thanks for the link. I’ll share mine in a few weeks.

Finally found some weld thru primer and got the floor welded in. The back wall needs some work to line up with the door jambs (vertically) but it’s really coming together.

Good eye. The sides are regular primer and the middle will be weld thru. The local automotive stores did not have any so the spots were drilled thru the 14ga into the crossmembers. I went to the paint store and got weld thru. Yes that back wall is hard to get off without tearing it up.

Tough sledding the last couple of days, but I did get the first piece of floor welded in. Since my harbor freight hole punch won’t punch 14ga I had to get creative with the drill press. I have the first door jamb sitting up there to see where I will land the opening. I added almost a foot and...

Sorry bout the delay I have been cutting the door jambs off the donor cab and cutting them up. There are some tricky measurements reusing the door jambs so there has been lots of “butt scratching” to coin a phrase. I will follow up with the solutions and some detailed pics in a couple of...

You got it !! Plug welds. I’m not showing the under side welds for a reason lol.

Well guys I finally got all the rot pulled off, cross joists painted and ready to put the new floor in. I had to cut the door supports flush with the cab inner tube because of the rust. I added in a piece of angle 2” 14 ga angle for the floor to sit on and when I get the floor in I will add...

This really sucks. But it is the last piece.

Got the sub structure of the add on fully welded and the cab corners rounded. It would be a lot easier to round them on the bench.
