I had my van up on the rack yesterday as part of the action to replace the speedometer cable. I opted for the one piece cable and removed the two piece one from the vehicle. New one works great. As my ol' Granny used to say " it's slick'r than owl dung!" While under there, I looked at the spot right under the foot pedal, and was dismayed at the degree of rust rot that has occured at that spot. The shape of the metal at that location looks like a moisture/water trap. At this stage it's not just rust - but the metal has actually rotted through. This is going ot cause me some grief if I don't get on it and make a repair. It's not an easy spot, either. Has anyone dealt with this particular issue before. Any input would be appreciated. BTW, my 88 GL is pretty rust free but for this one spot. Thanks, John Rodger Chelsea, AL
