Here are some pics of mt "Blue Mule" Also known as my 1986 Isuzu Trooper. I am currently searching for replacement floor pans with little or no success. I have some rust issues.

Build your floorpans. Just keep some thin metal and weld it in, then shape it with a hammer as you go. When you get it done seal it with herculiner so you can't see the seam. If you don't have a welder, then use pop rivets or self tapping screws.

It works much better than the standard cardboard fix people do around here.

Still active duty, at least until 2008 when I retire. I may even go back to Clarksville, Tn. and try to get my old job back at Fort Campbell.

You may know already, but Independent4x is in Richmond, VA; they may have some "parts" trucks with floor pans availalble. See independent4x.com for their website. Matt is the owner's name.

Otherwise, some good Isuzu forums can be found at:
planetisuzoo.com
4x4wire.com

Each of these have good/decent "classifieds" where you may find a First Generation Trooper being parted-out near you.

My Isuzu friends are at MWIOR.com, but the classifieds aren't nearly what they are at the sites above.

I think that I found a trooper in a you pull yard around here that may have what you are looking for. Let me know, and I will look at it for you. Rob
