I feel the pain you speak of my friend!!!!! I have a couple supports that are just....gone......

Passenger side floor isn’t as bad as I thought. The driver side tho‍. Someone has been in here before. There’s a hole cut out above the body mount bolt.

I would check to see if water is coming in from the cowl area behind the dash.

Look for Legopnuematic's build thread to see how he rebuilt his cab.

It appears as tho water has been leaking down on the driver’s side. I’ll know more after I cut the cowl off

I'd bet a Benjamin it's leaking between the firewall and cowl seam due to failed seam sealer.

Just trying to fit the pieces together.

Just trying to fit the pieces together.

Do you have a rotted sill under the floor there? That’s a piece it may pay to get in a new panel since it’s a structural piece, but you could fab something if you’re skilled I suppose. Kinda hard to get the load bearing aspect and he door frame to be rigid without that piece it seems sadly.

I’m going to fab up a piece to replace that hole in the seat riser area. Trial fitting everything now

I mean the piece that runs forward to back under the floor and also the one that cuts across from the center if I’m remembering correctly. They have a rectangular box look to them about 4 inches wide about 4-5 tall I think

The cab braces and support like these?

I’ve cut those out and have them mocked up into place. As you can see they were shot! Lol
