We decided on a high tech redneck approach. We will be using these:

So the idea here is to encapsulate the rust and strengthen the floor structure at the same time we plug the holes in the floor. To accomplish this we used 3M panel bond that is used to attach body panels on newer cars. It is a 2 part product that requires a special gun and mixing tips - kind of a high test epoxy. We laid the material on the floor and used a filler spreader to smooth it out. I'm guessing it's about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick. Here is the finished product (for this step):

I see you bought the 3M kit. When I got mine we didn't yet have a son who works for 3M at the world HQ in St. Paul or I'd have kept the money in the family and bought that one instead of the Lord system. Remember, you can bond in a replacement panel with that just as well as you can fill holes with it and the panel will look more OEM. But as long as you clean the metal either way should work.

Next step is the POR 15. Hopefully I can get that done tonight so we can get the new carpet in soon.Chris - HRPT Long Haul 03, 04, 05, 13, 14, 15,16 & 18

Finally got to the carpet install last weekend:
First test fit - no trimming:
Next test fit after opening up the console cut and trimming a bunch from the center front hump based on measurements from the old carpet:
More trimming (in place) and fitting:
Rear panels, kick panels and new sill plates in place:

I can honestly say that is as useful as the truck has been since I got it home.
