Not really sure without pics from the under side, floor supports maybe?
Some people are like Slinkies. Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs

how about buying some sheet metal locally and welding that in for the floors?  might be a cheaper option

Cool, thanks for the help, I'm probably gonna order them from chris, been too busy to work on the truck, been working on our tractors, getting the a/c fixed, in occasional triple digit weather a/c is a top priority!!

Fordeatinz71, im in murchison, between athens and tyler, east texas area. also would someone please tell me what panel i need to buy for the area that the weather stripping goes, all the way from the seatbelt mount to the front of the seat hump is rusted out!! :( refer to picture #3 and #5 to see what im talkin about, its on the other side of the rocker, not just the side that the door sits over, thanks for all the help im just trying to figure out what i need to get for this area so i can order my parts soon.

get OEM rockers.  slip-ons are just a band-aid, you need stitches, lol
