HELP w/the area behind the front seats....

but not quite the foot area for the back seat. why do they not make replacement panels for that area and/or can you fab that pan yourself with some sheetmetal? if so, what ga. should be used? also, if anyone has a completely restored floor from the back where the bed starts to the footwells, i'd REALLY appreciate some pictures. i have a lot of rot and rust on my floors and trying to figure out what everything is supposed to look like has been a PITA.

Hmmmm, not exactly sure which spot your talking about, I know that
a replacement BLAZER floor is nearing the production stages, and the
cab floor is already there, are you talking about the STEP up area ?

just below the step area....from just under the seat to that back area. they sell the outter rear pans but that's just for the side. i have to cut a little more towards the inside than that pan will cover.

no, the floor pans that i bought go just about to the front of the seat...the outter rear floor pan covers just the side all the way back to the step. i'll take a picture.

Re: HELP w/the area behind the front seats....

What you need is that area out of a pickup truck. LUV is talking about a complete truck floor pan is about due out. That would solve your problem. When I get a chance to post some pics with my wifes help I will show you what I have done. My kneewall was rusted in some place so I welded in some patches. The outside curved area of my outside pan was gone worse than Frenchblues is you have seen his thread. Finding a good pickup cab floor is not easy but they are around. I couldn't find one so I had to get pieces I had to buy the curved area and the ridge where the front of the seat sits. I graphed in the outer curved part. I am using the angled to replace the angled part that leads up to the flat part. The flat part is just a standard Patch. I have a complete back floor that is almost rust free that I got from a parts blazer. just what you are talking about knee wall up to just in front of the front seats that I got. I am saving it for my other blazer. This blazer is my experiment.

thanks pound, that's what i'm looking for. the rust just starts to ride up the ridge and i was thinking about fabbing that piece somehow. i might have to go back out to a junkyard and see if i can cut out that section.

Call Goodmark they can tell you or WES on the board usually has a good idea on that stuff. Dupping that curve/ridge part is hard! I tried and then went with the truck piece good luck

Re: HELP w/the area behind the front seats....

Times like these you wish Gee Emm was around still... He made his own floor using a pickup floor but all of his pics got wiped when he left the site... I tried to access his website but I guess he has dropped it...

Good luck, Rg
