giorgio61 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Floorboards, rails and door sills are fairly simple pieces, so when I discovered that my door sills were very rusted, mostly due to years of moisture seeping thru damaged door seals, I went to a local sheet metal fabricator (mine does HVAC ducting and rooftop curbs) with some drawing and measurements. My floor pans were not rusted but were pretty banged up, so I decided not to cut anything there but to straighten the floor pans and add longer rails on top of the originals. They made me the (full lenght) rails out of 16ga steel and door rails out of 20ga., probably out of left over material. One small improvement I had them include in the sills, was a foldover crimp on the standing seam to avoid future door seal leaks into the side rails and rocker panels. Total cost $40.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
