Floor Pan Replacement - Quick, Cheap And Easy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 окт 2020
- In my opinion the worst part of any restoration is fixing old rusty floors. I've learned a few tricks over the years, so I figured I'd try to share some tips in this video.
The project is an old 4x4 Square Body but the principles translate over to basically any car/truck in need of repair.
Typically floor repair is one of the cheapest repairs you can do to a car. Most floor pans are readily available to make the job easier. Also since it will be under the car and under the carpet it doesn't have to look great. It needs to be strong, seal out the vehicles exhaust and be properly sealed to prevent further rust.
Let me know what you think of the video in the comments below.

Yeah top man Fitzee.
Another Canadian, Fitzee's Fabrication, has some great panel install vids.

Dan: Should change your name to DD Pan Shop! Every vehicle that enters the hallowed walls of this tiny garage has needed floor work! You're a national treasure though, keep up the goid work, you're loved by all!😃😃😃
Pickup truck, real music, always heard you Canadians were polite, dream video for a Texan, thanks a bunch. Keep it up, blessings to you and your family.....
Tha ks randall. I appreciate the kind words!
Lives in Winterpeg... hates being cold. That's why I live in Jakarta.
Easily my favourite channel - looking forward to the 56 content but then I am biased!
Thanks buddy
Dan that is one of my favorite things ever. Fixing up an old pick up truck. And not to be a show truck. A fun beater with a heater. Keep it up. Thanks for the fun show.
Yeah maybe a winch and some decent tires. Then use it as it was intended
Thanks for sharing. Nice when the Mig serves as a bonus space heater in the Land of a 100,000 chills. Best to you and yours.
Haha so true
I contacted Iron Trap Garage and told him you were looking for a header for your Model A. I hope you don't mind...Trying to help you, sitting on the sidelines. Like your show.
Thanks buddy!
Floors look great. Also, it’s nice to have an 8’ dumpster at your disposal! Gotta love a pick up
Love the long bed
Floors look Great!...& Rancho shocks good choice I had those on my 1999 Dodge 4wheel Truck
The cold and snow, only skiers could enjoy it.
Love how its going and what can I say that someone else hasn't said... I will be smarter tomorrow, thats what I keep telling myself.
I should be out fixing the floors in my Chevy. Instead I’m sitting here watch a guy fix his.
Haha get out there!
Education purposes is what I like to consider it .
Same here but just dont want to my square is to tall for garage door gotta put just rims on it to get in garage
Hey I'd love to be out there working on me and my wife's K5s but I don't have a welder or material. Hopefully I'll be getting one soon.
Nice looking floors, Dan!
i love the way you share plans with us before you get started, i used to think you were procrastinating but now im on board , keep going Dan, you make it look so simple
Thanks buddy!
Gonna be a nice truck when it's done. Good job on the floor dan
Used that Frost king insulation in two of my cars. Works great and the right price.
Sweet! I have high hopes
Keep the video's coming guys, best entertainment on youtube
Nice job dan, trucks looking good
You must be livin right to get both loose great job
Definitely going to be a worthwhile struggle when that ole girl is finished. You hate floors if I remember correctly. Lol. Thanks dd speed shop!!! Tell Dani I said “what’s Up!! Need a song from her
Haja i hate floors but im always doing them
That duct insulation is PERFECT for floor pans. Inexpensive, closed cell, formable!
Hillbilly music.... Waylon Wire would love it! Dan you are the sheetmetal maestro.
Haha I should get some Waylon going in the background
I'm sure Waylon would approve. He loves you kids!
A nice job on the floors, keep up the good work we’re all watching
Thanks man
The floor's looking good .
Much better than the "Flintstone" mod the truck had before. Sound matting should make a world of difference too, truck coming together nicely.
I was shocked how bad the floors really were haha
That was a lot of work he did on the floors ///////
The floors look great Dan.👍
Love that ol' Square Body! I have the same wheels on my 69 C10 except they're 6 lug.
Love em
Dan is a Hero repairing that trucks floors.

Yeah im optimistic
Stick with chevy. I love my 88 k 3500 reg cab 350 turbo 400 410 rear . Keep up the good work.
Brother JD on tv refereed to holes in the floor as felony holes,lol,a place to get rid of your felony’s when getting pulled over.
Haha
Dan your a beast 💪🏁 you get things done !!!
" Clean the Grrage " perfect for a T-shirt.
Dan like how you said hate the cold and the snow but like me live in a northern climate.you just take what it is .Nice to see you putting an effort in the box especially with winter about ready to drop. Nothing like having a good vehicle when mother nature starts throwing everything at you.be careful and be safe
Nice job Bro. Shes coming along nicely. Great job on the floors.
Thanks man
Great job dan
Ping ping 😷" D IS IN THE HOUSE " perfect for a shity Sunday 😁😁 Thumbs up

Always a pain doing floors, truck is turning out pretty sweet. Great job Dan!
Reshaping that passenger floor pan to fit will be a task.
The floors look real good!
Dan, I'm with you, I HATE THE COLD!!
As you say tho, meh, I deal with it.
And so it goes.
Good decision on getting the other floor pan to make it a lil easier for yourself . Cheers
I put two wheel cabs on 4wd frames just gotta have a 2inch body lift to clear the transfer case and tunnel works good
I always learn something new in your videos.. With floor repair I keep thinking..work from the top.. How can I weld this from above..overlap is ok. Just seam seal the heck out of it!😉
Yeah as long as its strong and sealed you should be just fine.
Not bad at all. Looks really good. Thanks for sharing. I hate being cold too. Just ask my wife. I say it all winter.
Your doing a great job! That truck is gonna be nice!
Hi Dan. Floors look super. I've seen some cobble jobs, and this ain't one. Love those solid welds!
Thanks man
Full Flinstones floor!
🥇🏆
You’re video’s are the best
Thanks buddy
Great work as usual Dan
get after it Dan, you make quick work of everything.
I try
BEEN THERE DONE THAT, BUT YOURS LOOKS A LOT BETTER THAN MINE, GEEEE NICE
The floors look great! Need to try your hand at reupholstering that seat!!
I got a roll of duct rape haha
You can use the sound detener with the rug with backing..works great, I did it with the falcon
Nice
Looks really good
Great job with the floors. Love your comments -"cause I'm an idiot. Story of my life". Funny stuff. Sounds like myself.
Hahs thanks
Dealing with rust is no fun. Very satisfying when the repair is complete. Short time pain, long time gain. Floors look great.
I'm always dealing with rust haha
Just wanted to give you some insight on square body Chevy’s. I inherited an ‘86 from my grandpa. He bought it with 9,000 miles on it in ‘89. The floors rust out because the wing windows leak. The fix is either convert the window to a full roll up window (not an “original” repair) or order new window seals from LMC Truck or Brothers Trucks. They carry the upgraded window seals and locks that help keep water out.
Another thought, inlinetube.com carries replacement pre-bent brake line and parking brake parts. They are decently priced and the lines fit perfectly. I had to replace all the lines on my truck and it took about 1.5 hours to replace all the lines. They carry a large variety of years, males and models.
Truck looks great!
Direct fit my friend, cheers from wa
Yeah turned out pretty decent.
Nice job, looks good in flat black like always 🥤
DIYer tip on welding with gaps, metal coat hanger is your best friend. Use the same way as a tig filler rod. Cheap or free. People doubt the strength of it, I had to trail weld some camber adjusters on a rig a few yrs ago. All we had was coat hangers and some guy had a cutting torch. Long story short dude trail rigged for a couple more yrs and wrecked it pretty bad, everything else around the welds was torn or broke. Anyone else used coat hanger?? Great vids as always keep jamming away!
Right on
Yeah you got to love an old square body. they made it forever they must not use as much salt as they do down here in Iowa
Yes the floor pan for the left make life easier... Rights looking good... Keep up the good work..
The floors turned out great
Looks good Dan! You make it look easy. I need to do some in my '76 F100, keep procrastinating it....🙄
Is there a group of people hording steering wheel horn buttons in Manitoba...? 🤣
Haha I hope I find one
wish i was young again like dan is
Box truck is looking good 👍😊
Great Floor Show. Like how your obsessed with making it look right. N Nobody likes the Cold.
It's a sweet truck!! I picked up the 454ss yesterday and it died a half mile from my house. Thinking fuel pump.
Bummer! But sweet trucks!
@@DDSpeedShop it will live again!!!
Awesome work Dan. Thanks for sharing your Garage Time with us. I always look forward to your videos.
Nice job on the floor pans.... If only mine turn out that nice
The floors are looking good nice job. You stuck with it and push throw it pays off. Don't forget to rest up brother take care👍
U know it.
Dan, I am afraid you picked the wrong place to live, if you don't like being cold. Lol thanks for the video and thanks for entertaining us
Nice touch with the hillbilly music.
nice work
Hey Dan, I bought floor mats for my 85 through LMC. They were "Husky" floor mats. Could have just ordered right from them. Anyway, they are great and your new carpet won't get wet at all.
Thanks for the tip! I'll look em up
few years ago the aftermarket offered body bushings that lowered the body, and a set that raked the body, by gradually reducing the hight of the
the bushings from rear to front.
Hockey Puck Dan brought me here
Looks Stock great job 🖒🇨🇦🇺🇸
Can't wait to get to work on me and the wife's k5s, I figured while I'm waiting to get a welder id go ahead and watch every video I could find, every little bit helps, nice work man.
Can't wait till you start that 56 dan you give me a lot of good pointers noooooooo gasser you already have the 55 😂 keep up the good word and videos 👍🏼
Yeah 1 gasser limit haha
Thanks for giving me something interesting to watch on a Sunday night Dan! Just finished a bunch of rust repairs myself. Another great video! Keep them coming! Thumbs up!
Sweet! What you wrenching on?
Wassup nice old truck
Thanks
Nice work! Your very good at welding!
Man those floors look great! Now have you ever looked into fluid flim for the frame, I have used that for years here in Maine and man it saves the vehicle from rusting. Now they have what they call woolwax it comes in black smells great and makes the frame look new. I just did my truck in it, I bought a gallon off of Amazon cost 60.00 us dollars a gallon. Check it out,might be something to get into places around here charge 150.00 to 200.00 us dollars a vehicle. Oh and don't forget Gun metal gray color for the truck when you paint it lol!
Yup a little undercoating. Then I'll probably bar oil it. Try to save it the best I can.
Looks good ,floor work looks soled nice looking truck.
Looking good brother hope you got some brackets for the alternator and power steering pump
No ps yet. Gunna have to get creative
Sweet
every body mount I have taken apart breaks
The square body looks good
Haha yeah I lucked out on this one.
Yup👍👍
Well done, walking thru a muddy field comes to mind but you made it worth while. Nice and tight and installated!!
I agree with you Dan Rick and his guys at Old Time Garage do beautiful work . His former body man Dave is gone I guess there was a problem between them but they never said why he left. I don't know if you watch Coldwarmotors but he just did a custom metalflake paint job on an old van plus all the body work, what an artist he is.
Good job..good channel!
Nice fit Dan!
I would insulate behind the seat too dude. Total cab warmth. mmmmm nice.
Nice work I was nice watching how you did it need to do mine keep up with the filming it helps alot of us out thanks
Looks familiar. I’m doing the same thing to a Ram charger
