This is the first time posting on the forum: I have a 70 Bronco in need of some sheet metal work. Primarily my focus is on the floor pans/dog house area. Having said that I was curious if a one piece floor pan set from Wild Horse would be a good way to go? Are these a good fit? What about the quality?

Well it goes like this with sheetmetal,"you get what you pay for".The one piece floor pan/seat platform is a great idea,I made the mistake of going cheap (ebay) with mine,I will NEVER make that mistake again.All
the vendors offer quality sheetmetal whether it be Ford or aftermarket,I purchased nearly ALL my metal from Toms Bronco Parts,but just be ready to do some trimming and tweaking here and there no matter what metal supplier you choose,hope I didn't scare you,just speaking from experience,good luck it's a fun addiction :cool:

The complete preassembled floor replacement is a big job. If the rig is that rusty it's the way to go because much of the work is done for you. If the rust is mainly just the floors I would not go with the complete unit. The quality of the part is the best out there. We have the bench seat or the bucket seat version. If you have some pics of the rusted areas we could better assess the need of the complete floor for you. Good luck with the project.

for me its about the labor. If your doing it yourself you can endure the cost of the labor. If your paying for the labor at 100 dollars an hour you don't want to be paying someone to cut it all apart and rebuild from scratch. Of course such a large piece is going to have big shipping costs associated with it.
