Rick -
The floor panels I bought from VB a few years ago had to be trimmed by the
body shop I sent my rolling chaasis to, but the body stayed on the frame. I
had very little other rust on the outer parts of the floor (none really)
where the welding was done. If the backs of your rocker panels are shot
you're better off removing the tub. If I had it to do again, I would do so
as it would have made a lot of the restoration (suspension, differential,
etc. a LOT easier...
