1990 Jimmy floor replacement
ssgoodman:
Started working on the floors the other day, i got the seats, the center console, the carpet, the plastic molding, the doors, the sound deadening all out of the jimmy in the last 2 weekends. I tend to get side tracked easily so i worked on the floors for alittle while then i fiddled around with the gas tank again then the floors for awhile then fiddled with the engine for awhile. i still need to get the subframe unbolted but i did my back and shoulders in today torquing on them so i will put alittle PB blaster on them and leave them until next weekend. here is a load of pictures of the floors. i dont have an ETA on the floors, i hope to get the gas tank sorted first before i get the floors. i have been thinking of keeping it on the cheap and getting some 16 gauge steel and making my own custom floors but i dont really have the fab skills or tools to do a custom floor job.
drivers side front floor, probably need to change the kick panel also
drivers side looking into the cargo area, pretty much all shot
passenger side looking into cargo area. nice view of the BFG's
drivers side looking from the passenger side.
underside of the passenger side rocker panel. looks like he used some sort of foam thing which i bet is probably flammable.
more of the rocker panel on the passenger side
passenger side floor looking down

looks like you have a project! My 84 blazer is not quite as bad as yours but has all the similar rust
I would imagine your front seatbelts are no longer attached to the pillar? I pretty well just had to rebuild that with flat sheet metal. drilled a hole in it and welded a nut on the back for the seatbelt bolt. Then welded it all in place. Jeremy

yeah it does seem like quite the project, i dont know if i will get it all done or not i am hoping i wont give up on it. i bought it out of minneapolis and they love to put the road salt down thick. i would love to follow what that guy did on K5 colorado and put a completely custom diamond tuck foor in. i also need to put a new rear pan in the back.
ssgoodman:
i am thinking i am going to take the jimmy down to the frame and then start putting it back together. i would like to get the frame stripped and powder coated but would rather do it cheaply. how much easier would it be to get the floors in if it was off the frame?

I would fix the floors ON the frame then take it apart.
