right or wrong, this is how it is getting done...

cutting it out..

Image Image

now that it is out, time to fit the late 80's bed floor into the hole.. :hm: :thumright: I've got this..

I have it fitted, the cross members cut to the right height to fit the frame rails and line the body and bed lines up, it is all screwed together with self tapping screws till welding tomorrow.. should be ready to put back on after tomorrow... still have to jam out the back of the cab and the front of the bed.. I will address the corners at a later date.. moving right along...

Anthony, Is there really a right way or wrong way if it gets done and everybody is happy? :)
Rick is right, it is still probably easier than patching together a bunch of pieces.
