Rust repair braces?

Does anyone make/manufacture good rust repair braces for a 69-72 K5? I need to cut out floors, rockers, and parts of A pillar on mine, but am in search of options for bracing.

Is there any difference between bracing that goes floor to top of windshield or bracing that goes inside the door jamb?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Rust repair braces?

Most of us use whatever we have that is handy for bracing. I've used angle iron, uni-strut, rebar, whatever I could find or buy cheap.

Good luck, Rg
