Thanks! I’ve searched the forum for “floor pans” and didn’t see anything about this but I probably didn’t dig deep enough.tgreese wrote:Actually I was going to write something like that, but it's been covered sooo many times before.
In my part of the country, this does not look too bad. Actually, it looks pretty good. Lots of dirt mixed with some flaky rust, but the structure looks all there. The longest lasting repair will be all new steel, which will last another 50 years before it's back to the state you see... unless the owner is more effective at keeping the floor dry. Then it will last longer.
Patching it up won't last as long, maybe 20 or 30 years? Especially if the floor is kept dry.
Instead of fiberglass, you can pop-rivet patches over the holes. Use something like the bed liner suggested above or urethane cement or an MCU paint or whatever. Won't last forever, and the better you seal it up and neutralize the rust, the longer it will last. But it will probably last long enough.
