'88 Commanche floor boards

I have a 1988 Commanche...decent shape mechanically...usual rust.
The drivers side floor boards have rusted out. Is there a replacement
sheet metal part available or am I going to have to fabricated this
myself?

Mine rusted out in that damned hole where the body mount bolts on - fabbing
that took some cussing. If you can't find a kit, then you are in for some
serious sheet metal work. The original was ribbed to stiffen it - I wound
up welding some channel instead of bending those then filled the whole mess
with roofing tar to stop any further rust. Also check behind the pedals on
the firewall for rust - I had a quarter sized hole up behinf the brake
pedal that let water in from the splash which compounded the floor problem.
Saw the same hole in 2-3 that were in a local junk yard.

Keep a jack on the door opening and make many short welds to lessen the
shrinkage.

Ugh!

You can jack anywhere you want -- not that there's any noticeable output
-- but do it where no-one can see you, eh?

If ya don't, you'll get another visit from your gay buds at the Cop Shoppe.

With that limp pecker the freak would be there for hours.
