Re: 74 K/5 Screamin Green

welded the front floor section and support in the K5, and started working on the rear support. I took the template from the drivers side i had ( thanks Russ) and cut another base plate. since some of the non flat stamping was still solid ( and was still there) i attached it to the new base. its pockey looking but its basically solid... slowly cutting out the rot or thin areas and replacing with solid material. then attaching it in its location on the truck to ensure good fit and function. the thing should be as strong if not stronger than the original since it will end up "boxed". It is a PITA but i want the K5 to be stiff and solid. after that gets re installed i will have to do the same with the Torque (rocker) box. i will be sure to save my templates for this when i go back to make the front section of the long missing drivers side rocker box.
first 3 pics my new floor the last 2 the rear support piece
