[QUOTE="ENKssen, post: 628991, member: 32145"] So with the repairs the plan was to start at the front and work backwards. With the cab floor being nice and solid (had obviously been replaced at some point) the first job was to tackle the front tubs which were in a bit of a state. After having managed to stick my fingers through the metal whilst stripping the outside, after soda blasting it was clear both sides would need to be replaced. Whilst doing this, I decided that I would take the opportunity to remove the bulkheads too. I've always been a fan of swivel seats and the plan was always to ditch the original front seats for something taller. Passenger side tub cut out.
