    i have no floor at all. im planning on getting it in over the week end. seeing the pictures helps get the wheels turning in my head. heres some pics of what i m working with. 1 st pic is the drivers side. second is the p***engers i started to make some tubs for the slicks.

    im going to use 16 gauge for all the sheet metal. i dont want the floor to have 5 million bars all over the place. the center panels are going to be removable for acess purposes. i searched alot of posts but came up with only a few inspiring pics.

    the truck with the suicide doors is similar to how i would like to do the side panels in mine. thanks!

    I'm interested in how to PROPERLY connect the subrails to the sides of the body. If I keep it stock I have an idea but if I channel it an inch or two then what?? Any advice

    do a kick up in the door area like the late 50s or early 60 trucks had if you have the room.
