Floor removal begins!
Posted 02-15-2009 at 12:54 PM by nd48463
I have finished gutting and removed the rear most portion of floor to see what was there. Besides for the rusted steel flashing on the rear bumper storage it looked pretty good. The cross-member ans outrigger are in excellent shape! Had some difficulty with the wafer head screws holding down the floor so I cut around them to get the floor up. I will need to add some angle iron the the rear of the frame. It was rusted out a bit. I did discover that in two area the floor rotted out under the c-channel and then crushed it. This caused the body to drop the thickness of the plywood and damaged the c-channel extrusion. This was at the rear of both wheel wells. Now it is time to start making a list of what I need.
Let the fun begin!
