Fixing Rust On My F250

- I've finally gotten around to fixing some of the rust on my 1983 F250. I had no idea how bad the floors were when I got the truck, then I found out that they were made mostly of fiberglass, which had started to deteriorate over time. I purchased all the patch panels from LMC truck, it came to something like $230 which was well worth it. I still had to make up a few pieces here and there. If you're wondering what I'll do about the rust on the rest of the truck, I only planned on patching the cab. The fenders and bed are the worst of it (after the floors), but I'd much rather just buy some used rust-free panels and replace them. Around here they're relatively abundant and inexpensive (compared to the time it'd take to patch them). I may get to that eventually, I'm going to get my money's worth out of this body first.
