Were building 3 different options ..
a "shell" for the buggie guys , a cab with no rad support , for the guys with tube fronts , and a cab with rad support complete with even a battery trey .
Floor up to the firewall section and mounts are steel , with a fiber shell epoxied .
we are going to offer a cage as well .. + dash and other goodies .. we are just in the process of building

Excuse me for being a newbe to rust repair, but what gauge metal did you use for the floors? How did you get the metal to match the stock contours?
I am probably going to replace my rusted battery tray also, so any info on the tray replacement would be a great help.
Been watching you rebuild, some awesome work going on in your shop. Too bad I'm in the lower 48

battery trey we sell http://www.toyotafiberglass.com/truck_12.html is chemical resistant and simply will epoxy into place
steel guage is 20 , and I used my bead roller for the corrragations .. works great for strengthing the panel

well being this is a 2wd cab , there are some mods to fit to a 4wd .
one of them being the front mount . One way is to replace the front crossmember .. probabally the easiest , but I dont have one , and I cant find one , so heres how I'm going to fix it :
some welding , and finishing , and I can check this part off the list

Have you guys made any progress with the full cab options?
Wondering as I'm in a similar (but worse) situation and weighing options aside from my current plan to rebuild the entire floor & rockers and then most of the firewall.

No I haven't .. my shop is so booked up(2.2 years ) , So I have had to put ALL the new stuff on hold .
looking for staff , but it is VERY difficult .
If you have a look in my Trekker build though , I replaced the works , floor , tranny tunnel , rockers .. might give you some ideas
