Floorboard Rust - Suggestions

Bought her knowing there was rust. Finally got the carpet pulled back and cab pressure washed to remove 21yrs of "stuff". Was probably $10 in various change as well

Found this crap. Think I'm going to section 4" or 6" sections at a time to maintain general shape until the rot is replaced entirely

How are the cab corners?
How about the rest of the truck?

Honestly, I would not even try to "fix" the floor.
I would replace the cab

cab corners aren't rotted badly, but there are holes

rest of truck is pretty much rust free. jack*ss who owned it never washed it out, and it's apparent he left the windows down alot

I could get another cab, but they're $500-ish with some rust around here.

Rock auto had the floors for my truck pre-bent and ready to go. It was less than I can get the materials for. You should check there first.

When you're done fixing the rust bed-line it and throw a rubber carpet in.

Bed liner is planned. Not going to use anything else besides that. Intent is to hose her out and I don't want anything that can trap/wick moisture again

Bummer you're not closer to western colorado. There's a guy in Delta selling bare cabs cheap, they appear to be in decent shape. Last i looked he had crew, super, and regular cabs for $100 each.

Make sure you have drains or it is all pointless
