Inner Cab Corners????

[71blksuper4x4]

Have any of you guys had to build your own floor pan to fit the area behind the rear pillar in your truck, otherwise the inner cab corner????? Mine is totally gone, and was wondering if I could just bend a pattern out of the rear floor pan that I bought. I have heard that companys make them for other years of chevys but not 67-72. If not, and you replaced some of the actual floor in the truck, and put in the rear floor pan piece they make..... did you just leave that as the inner cab corner and leave a hole in your floor there?????

I did mine this summer and just fabbed a piece from an old hood. (which is what I use for all patch work)

I first used posterboard and carefully created a pattern with that. It's a bunch of trial and error. Once it fit the way I wanted, I used it to cut out a piece of metal. Then weld it in and seal the edges with seam sealer.

I made my repair parts out of 18 gage sheet metal. I cut a cardboard template out and trimmed it to fit and then used the pattern to cut the sheet metal. I made little bent angles to weld the sheet metal to the cab corner. After welding and priming, I used a caulk made by Trimco, "Vulkem Caulk 116" which is paintable after cure, to seal the weld area.
