Replacing floor pans

[horsebrokeright]

Any helpful hints, or sites to look at. Im getting ready to replace the complete bed pan on the bronco my wife bought me, it has a small rust line almost all the way around the inside edge, almost the only rust on the whole bronco, i have another one in my old bronco that is in really nice shape & rust free. Just figured someone has done this before & could give a few pointers. Thanks

I placed my new door pans on top of the existing land. I pushed down hard to try and get the new pan as close as possible to the old. I then scribed a line to show me where the new pan was set. I then measured a new line down one inch from the original line. I cut put the old pan com that second line. Positioned the new floor pan in place and drilled the holes for the self threading screws, about an inch apart. Once all the screws are in then take one out and weld. Skip every other screw so you don't warp the new pan.

Sorry, should have typed floor pans and not door pans.

if you do the front floor pans there is a trick to making the dimple where the bolt goes. i found it by doing a yahoo search, and it may have been on this site.
