Question

Answer
Wes sorry im not aware of any books that show this kind of repair.can you tell by looking at the old one how it was welded in most of the you have to make a the 3 inch flange and spot weld it to the rocker inners first before you weld the floor in,let me see if i can find a truck so i can take some pics so i can see if i can help you a little better
