My surprise after pulling out the rubber mat. We don't see much more than surface rust here in Arizona on our trucks. Even more perplexing it rusted from the inside out Looking for some advice where to get good quality floors pans.

The rubber mat traps moisture.
While it's apart look for water leaks from under the cowl or the windsheild.
I know the heater core was leaking according to last owner. He disconnected it. Doesn't explain the drivers side though. I guess Iwill have to check for leaks.
Does the truck have power or manual brakes? The master cylinder on a manual brake truck can leak behind the firewall, under your floor mat and onto your floor plan. I am assuming that would be a mixture that would eat away at a floor plan.

Mine was leaking badly from the spot the wiper motor penetrated the firewall. Gasket had deteriorated badly and it would pour in during a rain.
It is a Manual but, I haven't seen any fluid. The rubber in the floor for the clutch rod is rotting away though. That could be it but I am thinking it is something else. Sounds like I will be playing with the water hose this weekend. I haven't noticed any leaks before but, since we don't get much rain in Arizona that may have something to do with it! Lol
Mine is an AZ Truck As well and I had to replace the Floor Pan's. just normal 40+ Year repair. its a fairly easy repair, just don't buy cheap.

Where did you gets yours from?
form a guy up in Camp Verde, fairly mild climate. I don't think they're salting any roads up there.
