Hi all,
So last weekend I discovered the floorpan of my 07 supercab is rotting out due to moisture trapped in the insulation under the vinyl flooring. In my efforts to remove the seats and flooring, I stripped one of the 4 T55 bolts which mount the front of the seats to the floor. Took it to my local shop who ended up having to drill it out and put in a heli-coil. Anyhow, I am now short a T55 bolt, but cannot seem to find these anywhere. Anybody have any ideas?
Anyone have spares from a parts truck they'd want to sell?
The floor is another matter completely. No sign of a leak that caused the moisture, and we've had a few good downpours the last few days. I suspect the previous owner hosed off the vinyl floor regularly.
I've been watching a lot of welding videos lately...
