Default Re: Floor Pan Replacement - GM A-body

Ok, prepping for floor replacement. I have a new complete floor pan, all one piece including the rockers.



I built a fully adjustable bracing system which (fingers crossed) I'm hoping will keep everything in place.



The plan is to separate the old floor, raise the entire body via the trolly/hoist system, get the body cart out of the way, wheel the chassis / floor pan under and lower the body back down. Tack in the new floor and line up all body/frame mounting points, hang the doors temporarily, confirm measurements and align seams and proceed with new quarters.




I've gotta say, having never done this I'm scared as hell she's going to fold on me. I'd use the lift but removing the rockers means there's absolutely nowhere to put the arms. The body is going to have to hang for a little bit while I repair a couple body-to-floor mounting points that I can't get to when they're together. Looking at the setup, do you guys see any "glaring" gotchas?

Very much appreciate the feedback!
