Replacing a standard cab DS floorpan, any pointers?

Tempted to do it while I have the trans out when I won't have driveshafts and exhaust in the way underneath...
 
Hopefully yours is not as bad as mine was..

When I did mine.. I found that the box frame with the body mount bolt hole in it is the same on the passenger side. I couldn't find a good driver side donor.. but I did find a ranger at the scrapper that had a rust free passenger side. After pulling the pieces apart at the factory spot welds I found they were the same.

I was going to repair mine while it was still on the frame.. but in the end I found that it was better off being done with the cab off the frame and tipped up on its back.
 
I think the cab supports are ok, my problem goes back to a leak that rusted a hole in the floor.

Good to know though :icon_thumby:
