Hello all, My '69 overlander 27' has the usual rear end seperation and I have removed the interior to restore it and the bad section of flooring. I got some advice fom Andy at Inland when I bought a lot of parts to replace the flooring and holding tank but much is still very unclear. First when I remove rivets from the rear exterior panels to remove them, the tail lights are still quite firm and I can't find a way to remove them, if i have to. I would like to take off enough rear skin to remove the afflicted section of 3/4 plywood from the bathroom area, in fact the entire rear 6 feet at full width and slide a new section in. I am not sure how to proceed. I thought of installing 2 sections for ease of installing but I think it would not be strong enough over the unsupported area above the holding tank. I suppose i need to remove the interior skin as well. Why didn't the factory rivet the bottom of the interior skins to the floor channel? It seems it would have been much stronger in supporting the rear end wieght.
Any thoughts and advice gratefuly welcome,
