Where does every one source their floor panels from?

Got an 83 with Swiss cheese floor pans and may need to replace the whole thing depending on how bad it goes when i start grinding away the cancer. Where do you guys get patch panels and sheet steel stock? The panels at Lowe's and home depot are small and expensive.

Simple. I've never bought a rusted RBV.

LMC does have replacement floor pans. And free catalogs.

I go to my local auto paint supply; CAPS - Central Alberta Paint Supply. Perhaps there is a local supply close to you.

I use a local tin knocker shop. The mostly do building duct work and roof crickets. But if I bring them a pattern of what I want the are always glad to help. Your not going to get factory look but it will be functional, usually save some cash going this route too.
I've done rockers, floor pans & door skins this way.

The lmc isnt big enough for what I need.

There are sherman William and other paint supply chains, ill check those out.

The factory look is the last of my concern. What is your estimate for a single cab floor?

The local machine shop has a wide variety of plain metal you can get. It is a lot cheaper than the little stuff they have at hardware stores.
