Need help on a '63

I need to replace the floor on a 63 Ambassador. Has anyone done one? I've read so many threads and mine just doesn't fit. The frame is in pretty good shape and i really dont want to remove the shell. I'm trying to figure out how many anchor bolt there are to replace and where they are. i can see one between the walls where the furance was., the original floor is plywood and in still in place except in the rear bath where it has rotted out. i can drop the belly in the back but thats where i stop. for being as old as it is, its really in pretty ok shape. I afraid if i take it apart to much i wont get back together.

Im sure that your subfloor/frame are very similar to the other mid 60S trailers. there are alot of people that have done shell on restos, search that in the threads. No Guts No Glory!
