Hi all, I just discovered the floorpan in the 2007 I purchased a three months ago is literally rotting with rust. Only reason I found out was because I decided to treat a bit of rust underneath, near one of the cab frame mounts. Wire brush ended up punching through the floorpan.
With great trepidation I removed the plastic trim on the floor by the DS door and pealed back the viny floor covering. It's really, really bad. Like bubbling flaking bad. I also noticed the felt underlay is moist, so that's definitely a concern.
At this point the only thing I can think of for repair if to replace the floorpan, so if anyone knows a source for these, please let me know.
I just dropped a bunch of money into this truck, and it's in great condition other than this. Feeling pretty gutted at the moment.
Also, does anyone know if there is separate layer of sheet metal under the floorpan, or is the floorpan itself exposed directly to the elements?
