Hokay Bob, here you go. It was worse than I thought.

Our '69 FJ55, AKA "Doc"-

Between the driver's seat and the door-

The stainless steel serving trays acting as floorpans that the wife..."borrowed" from Cattle Baron restaurant when she worked there as a teenager in 1982-

Below the tray. Worse than I thought.

Lifting the tray higher did not make me happier-

Passenger side is no better-

You ever want to get into rear seat pans, I could use those too-

Another shot of the rear seat pan taken from under the truck-

Body mounts, driver and passenger side-

There you go, Bob. Consider me entered.

Very cool contest!

Thanks Bob.

Doc is not going anywhere anytime soon. When it shedded it's passenger side quarter panel on the street and the debris almost hit a new Mercedes driven by an irritated resident of Tanoan ( a ritzy neighborhood in Albuquerque), I figured it was finally time to park the '69 and deal with the rust issues.

Thanks for the encouragement, Cruiser_guy. I may be calling on you for floorpan replacement guidance!

Brewtus, if your PIG parts are going to hit anything it might as well be a Mercedes.
Thanks Bob.

Brewtus, rear pan is definately possible and I will probably be doing rear Quarters 6 or 8 inches high for OSAGE. dont leave the yard just yet.

Thanks Bob.

I bailed on the lower half that was rusted like that and ended up with a reasonably solid ex-California lower half and the solid North Dakota upper half and welded the two together. The rusty lower half might be part of the Mercedes you nearly hit with the shrapnel!!

You can see what I did here https://forum.ih8mud.com/fj55-iron-...972-september-potm-cruiser-guy-guatemala.html 'cause "bobm" was still hiding his talents

 

[Brewtus]

Awesome thread, Cruiser_guy! Gives me hope for my relics!
