Have a 1992 Dakota club cab. Body is great shape but the floor on drivers side is rotted. Anyone know where you can buy replacememnt panels to repair the floor? Truck is in too good of shape let go.
Thanks!

Probably going to have to chop one out at the salvage yard. Most body shops just cut up a piece of sheet metal to fit. If you're interested, I have a '72 Challenger and a '93 Dynasty I bought new. I went wild with rustproofing on both of them inside AND outside. Before my Dynasty ever left the dealer's parking lot, I removed front and rear seats and carpeting, and sprayed rustproofing on the entire floor and rocker boxes. After it dried, I covered it with a layer of plastic sheeting to keep the carpet from sticking. I've driven both cars on the hottest days of summer, and have never smelled the rustproofing. To anyone who tells you otherwise, ask them if they smell their rustproofing on the bottom of their car when it sits in the sun?

Even if you don't use rustproofing, at least put the plastic down to keep water and salt that soaks through the carpet from settling on the sheet metal.
