Cab floor - 1 piece vs. pieces. Opinions requested

[Railroadman]

I've been working on my '66 3/4 ton for longer than I can remember - too many projects and i go hot and cold on some of them as time available allows. Lately I'm back into this project and slowly making some progress.

The whole cab floor is shot. Maybe 10 years ago, or maybe more, I sat down with the catalog and ordered up just about everything I will need. Looks like some of the pieces actually overlap, depending on what area they are primarily for. So I'll have to be trimming some of them down for the right fit.

I see LMC, and maybe others, now offers a 1-piece cab floor. Whether they didn't have it back then, or maybe they did and I missed it, I don't know.

So my question for those who have done this job, would I be better off buying the 1-piece, and trying to sell off the various repair panels to recoup some of my cost? Or forget that and just start cutting, welding etc? I might add that I am a newbie at MIG welding, I've done some but I'm not going to be able to zip through the process like a veteran.

I welcome opinions and suggestions (which I may or may not follow in the final decision )

Thank you!

The whole floor is recent, few years not sure how long ago, but I wish they had made a whole floor when I did mine I sure would have bought one. As for the quality I cant say I have not seen one of the repops in person.

I vote
Sell the parts you have and go for the whole floor pan.

that's the way I am thinking, you guys are confirming it. A few extra bucks, but way less PITA and less chance to mis-measure something.

If I had to do it again I would definitely do the one piece floor

I have spent a few years repairing most of the floor piece by piece. If I had to do it again, I think that I would choose the full floor....with copious bracing of course to ensure that nothing moves.
