The inside of my hinge post bottom is heavily pitted. I need to splice in a bottom replacement. I will rig up a support in the doorway prior to removal.
I also cut off a section of the cab support and will have to replace the severed section.
You may be right about replacing the entire floor. That may be in my future.

From what I can tell the cab mount rides on the seam in the firewall and supports the pan with spot welds. Does that mean I can remove the pan from the mount without support since it riding on that seam? Ahhhh ... I think I will add a support to top of door jamb to be on the safe side, but then the idea that weight is being supported by the pan seems comical. I imagine attaching the pan to the mount simply solidifies the floor.
I hope to get a quick response to this.

But in case I'm wrong I'll add a support before I cut out the pan.

Hey guys. I also have some spots on the inside of the doors that have some rust, pits, but not all the way through the metal. Is there a way to neutralize the rust, instead of cutting out and welding in new sections?
If so, can someone recommend a product for neutralizing the rust?
