Ok, can i butt in here with a couple of stupid questions, 1st, the coach company that modified the crewcab that I bought, cut out the floorpan in the back, can somebody hook me up with a pic or a link showing the factory rear floorpan just inside the rear door, just a pic with the rear door open, I have to remake the step area between the seat and the door.
2nd, does anybody have a cab that has sagged in the middle, I took a string and went from front fender to tailight, my cab has drooped in the middle, I realized that when Ford did the crewcab build, the welding was poor, alot of the welds have failed, but this thing was a ranch truck and went down alot of dirt roads. So it took a pounding, I will try to cure it by adding a center cab mount and reinforcing the floorpan in that area. I dont know what else to do, I plan on trying to jack up the cab in the center and leveling the bodyline. but really the question is "does anybody have a crewcab that has sagged in the middle" mine is likly a exception as it had a whole bunch of weight in the cab.
Any help would be cool, otherwise, I will figure it out.

Here hope this helps, all I can do is provide some pics I will let experts handle the technical answers.
These were in my stash of pics, other wise I would of got some floor/step with measurements for you.
Sold the white one along time ago and the last two pics are from a truck still in my local JY.
Am planning on getting the rear door panels and closer handles off it and another CC sometime when my hands are not full of other parts.

Ok, I got carried away with the whole adding a center cab mount and reinforcing the floor pan thing, but I made the mistake of looking under a 99 F250 to see how much of a difference there was in floor structure, our trucks have very little compared to modern standards, and I have been in a few vehicles that have been folded up, so I did what I could to help beef it up. The flat spot in the middle of the new sheet metal rail is where the center frame mount that I added goes.

I painted them with Rust-Oleum rattle can before I welded them, then I am just going to pump some in and blow it around with compressed air, I thought about the old school solvent based undercoating, then thin it and blow it around inside, but I dont know yet.

though you guys might enjoy these. its one of the first things you see when you pull into a guy i knows driveway. i guess it came from the ship yards in portland and doesnt have a title so its destine to sit in this spot for the rest of its days. kinda sad cause its not in bad shape, been sittin for 15+ years and the motor still turns freely. only rust is where a dent was in the roof that water pooled in which is pretty amazing for the pacific northwest.
