Cab floor wanted
Getting ready to bring the 68 back to life; the main stumbling block is going to be replacing the cab floor. The front mounts rusted out and the cab has been riding on the frame for years warping the floor pretty bad in the process. Anybody in the middle of the country have a cab with a good bottom?

I think I've only seen one guy, (Jerry Mann maybe) try to replace the entire cab floor here through the years."Drednme"Getting ready to bring the 68 back to life; the main stumbling block is going to be replacing the cab floor.

Most will replace the cab mounts, (replacements made by a few companines be careful of "Jackie Chan" made ones) and then replace the floor pans.
Did the structural "bends" of the entire floor rust out, (where the floor meets the tunnel etc.).

Re: Cab floor wanted
The reason there are no pics is because its a parts wanted ad; im not asking for advice. Between rust and being completely and utterly warped, some hammering and new mount brackets are not going to repair this truck satisfactorily. A new cab is out of the question as well. It was my wife's grandfathers truck and has a gorgeous patina that is going to get cleared after a frame off drive train and underpinnings restoration. I understand you are just trying to help, but believe me, Ive got a handle on it.
