Floor Pans
I have a '66 F250 with rusty floor pans that I've been living with. I'll be pulling the gas tank for cleaning, so now's my opportunity to get new ones welded in. From my research, it looks like the best pans come from Carolina Classics. Any input on this choice or other suggestions before I place the order?
Any other precautions to take? I will not be doing the welding myself, but worry about the dangers of grease and grime on or around the transmission area. What have the rest of you done?
Thanks!!

Floor pans
My cab mounts are in surprisingly good shape! I know I was very happy with the anti rattle and door seal kits I got from Dennis Carpenter, so I'll take your recommendation for the floor pans as well!

FYI, Carpenter and Carolina Classic parts are the same. Another note, floor pans are the same from 65 to 79, so should you want to cut and weld panels from a newer donor you can.

Northern Redneck Floor Pans
Hey, there are times and places (and weather) when a little redneck engineering it just what it takes to get the job done. 20 yrs ago, I really needed to patch the gapping holes in the floor pans of my 77 Ford van. Im in Alaska so maintaining that barrier between you and the outside elements is certainly advisable. Anywho, I didn't have a welder and had to do it outside in the winter. So I cut up some big tin coffee cans and rolled them out flat. Primed the patches and pop riveted them in place with some silicon sealer underneath. Worked great and that van is probably still running around up here with those coffee can patches. It did make an annoying "oil can" popping sound some times tho

JUST REPLACED COMPLETE FLOOR WITH FIREWALL ATTATCHED FROM 66 2WD INTO 64 CAB. TO MAKE 64 CAB SUITABLE TO SIT ON 66 2WD CHASSIS. LOTS OF SPOT WELDS AND TIME BUT WELL WORTH THE EFFORT. 66 FLOOR GIVES A MUCH BETTER SEATING POSITION AND MORE LEG ROOM.
