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.

I know this is a year old by now, but WOW what a JOB! I can't imagine doing all that work; some people would say it's not worth it but I commend you for tackling it! Very informative and fascinating video. I just recently decided to get into cars so stuff like this is very appreciated! So from one Ohioan to another, thank you!

I really like your choice of music. I'm trying to motivate myself to do the floor pans on my Ford Super Duty.

Getting started is honestly the hardest part because it seems overwhelming. Once I got to cutting I was motivated to keep going. Then once you get to the cardboard template phase and see it all starting to come together, you're on the home stretch.

The step drill bit requires a pilot hole. It’s not made to drill its own hole, but to make an existing hole bigger. I think it’s usefully customary to create paper templates before cutting the old out, so you know what you are doing after the old shape is gone.

Hello 6th Gear! I especially like that you took the time to talk about the value of one tool over another, like the aviation snips versus the tin snips for cutting the sheet metal. Sharing your knowledge here is very much appreciated. I am a very amateur sheet metal welder, (MIG), myself and seeing you weld your sheet metal without too, too many "blow-throughs" was encouraging. I have a 40 year old Volvo "Brick" to do some rusty floor repair on, and your video has really inspired me to have at it! And like you indicated, after you clean up the welds, use the seam sealer over the etch-primer in order to seal up any pinholes from moisture creeping in from the other side. And by the way, your bloopers at the end are hilarious. It was great to see your sense of humor. Keep up the GREAT work: your videos are so down-to-earth, informative, and entertaining - all rolled into one! Thank you very much!

I was looking for tips as I prepare to patch the floors in my '81 Trans Am. It has very small amounts of rot not nearly as bad as your truck. Very nice music choices too. Liszt, Rosini, Tchaikovsky were nice to hear. Very soothing as I go out to my garage now and try to patch as well as you. Thanks.

Anyone that knows how to do patchwork correctly will say that you should never just cut everything out all at once that’s rusted. It should be done in sections using the pieces you cut out as templates for your new pieces. cutting out large sections at once without making patterns for new pieces will make it difficult to replace and patch all the metal in a way that it was originally put together. It’s important to take measurements of the pieces you cut out and make card paper templates of all the pieces you remove so when the time comes to reconstruct everything, you don’t have to do any guesswork as to what size or measurements your patch pieces should be. The more you know 🌈⭐️

@6thGearGarage 8 месяцев назад

I understand what you’re saying, but I don’t know if I could work that way by creating templates when the metal all around it is still rusty. I like to remove all the bad and then come up with a game plan from a fresh start and rebuild it in the reverse order. Then again, I am far from a professional. I’m just a guy in my home garage with simple tools. If I ever had a high dollar project, I’d hire someone.

@mrgreezy1 8 месяцев назад

@@6thGearGarage I understand.. i’m just saying it’s a lot less guesswork. If you make panels based off of what you cut out instead of trying to guess that’s all my friend you’re finished product looks good unfortunately a lot of times when you don’t go off of making patterns off the pieces you cut there is an excess of metal introduced, or a deficiency of metal that’s creating pot canning, which is where the model pops in and out the manufacture had a certain amount of metal in mind that was beaded to prevent this type of thing bottom line your product looks good and it was just a suggestion to make things easier..

@6thGearGarage Месяц назад

This cab was not sagging, but I had a similar problem on my 1985. Here is a short video showing the repair. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7Xkdnrsa62A.html I would lift the cab by the other solid mounting points and support it with the door/fender in place until you can see the gaps are correct. Then repair it in that position. You may want to weld some temporary bracing in place to be sure the cab does not shift at all while you're repairing it. If it's sagging that much, it sounds like you have a lot more rot to cut out and replace than I did.

I noticed similar about under coating, rust developing behind the undercoating. So both do not seem to protect very well against rust. Anything else can be put to better protect against rust? I'm currently doing a floor pan on an old car and maybe wanted to try without a seam sealer and checked its rust progress every year.

@6thGearGarage 27 дней назад

For the rust to start, there must have been bare metal exposed. Perhaps it’s starting from the outside of the panel and working it’s way in somehow? You could do finish welding and grind perfectly smooth to make one seamless piece of metal, but that takes a lot of time and skill.

@@6thGearGarage Today, I had a nice looking piece of metal with a seam sealer on the joint of two pieces. I removed it for fun, and the metal behind it was rusted! So it seems to start from the joint covered by the seam sealer. I have another old car, 1994 Honda Accord, the interior was great except on the four corners, it was perforated where there were a lot of seam sealers. I removed the sealer and patched with grey putty that has metal in it, I wanted a stronger putty. So far, no rust came back. Maybe putty seals better than seam sealer...

Use a paint brush to spread the sealer😊

Is weld through primer actually zinc spray? Because I can't buy that primer anywhere in europe

@6thGearGarage 6 месяцев назад

Yes, it does contain some Zinc, but I'm unsure of the other ingredients that make it different from a Zinc spray or Zinc based primer.

The best part about doing this job is finally completing it and THEN having to do the other side 🤣💀

@6thGearGarage 5 месяцев назад

haha you're not joking... The other side was even more work because I replaced the rocker at the same time: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JrmNcHkoDYs.html

Great! Does anyone out there know a good source of replacement panel for a 1984 Toyota BJ75 Landcruiser. Floor pans in particular. Thanks!

@6thGearGarage 8 месяцев назад

Not that I know of, I have not seen any available yet.

@Lonndog 7 месяцев назад

Since your floor mount was rusted away gow did you find where the original hight and position for the new one you fabricated? Thanks and continued luck on your project.

@6thGearGarage 7 месяцев назад

I kind of just guessed and set it on top of the body mount bushing to figure out about where it should be.

@jimw6991 3 месяца назад

@@6thGearGarageI would be a little worried about stiffness of the body mount bracket. The original had stiffening darts that your piece didn't. There is a channel called Fitzees Fabrication, he does rust repair with simple tools, check it out. He makes ribs using a hammer and a vise plus stuff he had laying around. Compared to what you started with your repair is good. Thanks for sharing,

@6thGearGarage 3 месяца назад

@@jimw6991 I have been thinking about that as well. when I pull this cab off of the frame, I'm going to stand it up and take a closer look at that area to see if it can be reinforced.

@jimw6991 3 месяца назад

@6thGearGarage You should be able to add a welded gusset to your bracket on each side of the body mount cushion (doughnut). You want your frame very stiff compared to the body mount to get the isolation out of the system.

The frame on this truck was too rusty, but I prepared a different frame in this video, which I will be moving the cab and bed onto: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gmFx6OUw7Xo.html

nice work........but......if it were me i would have wire brushed the rusty chassis beneath the floor and used reformer & sprayed it before welding in the new floor

@6thGearGarage 8 месяцев назад

I will be pulling this cab off soon to put it on a restored frame. At that point I will take a look at the underside and see if it needs any work.

@domenickpace3450 5 месяцев назад

I believe rocker panel first then floors??

@6thGearGarage 5 месяцев назад

I think either method would work. I started with the floor because it was the most rusty and the rocker panel was pretty good. On the passenger side, I did the rocker panel and floor at the same time: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JrmNcHkoDYs.html
