Re: replace floor? Should I or ?
It appears that he had good intentions and a pretty good plan for what "he" wanted in the truck but that big console may not fit your plans for it.
The workmanship doesn't look that bad but it does look unfinished with the spot welds and not having the welds finished or seam sealed. It just looks more unfinished than anything. As in the idea that he got that far with welding it together and either quit on the truck or decided to sell it for what ever reason. He may even be one of those guys who puts trucks and cars together to the point where potential buyers look at them with the idea that "I can finish that the way I want" and not have to pay for finish work that they can do the way they want to make it their truck.
I'd be rolling under it and spending some time examining what they did when they put the new floor in. Did they cut out all of the old floor and start over and is the new floor reinforced or did they lay the new floor right over the old floor after cutting out the area under the trans hump.g
Youngrodder made some good points while I was typing my post. His point on is it structurally sound is probably the most important thing to look at. Then you can figure out how to seal it up better or modify it to fit your wants and needs if you want.
