Greetings all,

Working on the '51 Styleline I got for my mother, I know it's going to need new floors (Driver's side front as pretty much non-left, passenger has a bit more - Backseat my be solid enough), Rockers, and the panel behind the pedals (Toeboard I believe?) Is there a best order to replace those in to keep the structure "sound"?

Also - I have the shop manual, but the sheetmetal portion of it is somewhat lacking - is there another book I should be looking for?

Great - Thanks! So even though it states it's for '49, I should be good for the '51?

The 1949-1952 bodies are the same....almost. There were many small improvements made late in 1949 but they included things in the door posts and roof rails. Also some weather striping.
