    New floor pans in "93 Argo magnum

    Greetings "Argo-nauts"
    I had serious rust problems with my rear floor pans, i didnt want to remove the frame to weld on new ones, so this is what i came up with.. I had my brother cut and bend me two pans with a 1" lip, then i cut out spaces for the bearings, to make instal easier, and future work on the bearings possible. I carefully cut out what was left of the old pans, trem clad black on the frame on anything that needed it. I drilled small holes in the frame and pans & then used small stainless nut & bolts to attach it to the frame. I still have a bunch of bolts left to do, then a final coat of paint. It was a cheap & easy fix to a big problem & im happy with the final result.

    Be sure to square the frame before final install.


    My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.

    Did final sanding and paint on pans and rear frame. Im happy with the way it looks. Anyone know why my rear right inner bearing would be diferent than all the rest ? It sticks out more than the rest and is different shaped, you can tell because I had to cut the pan differently to accommodate it. Is this normal or did I end up with a "miss matched, make shift " bearing at some point , Maybe put on by someone working on it for my grandfather. . .
    Thanks
