Re: Project: Recycle
The floor 'assembly' will now mount above the bedside flange vs. how it was from GM (cross-sills & wood below the flange). I'm building front & rear 'sub-frames' for the inner bedsides that will add more structure & put the cross-sills @ the required height to align the bed to the rest of the body.
The sub-frames are started & I'm in the process of finishing them up now. I changed some things for better visual alignment & those I've shown liked the layout. We'll see....
The cross-sills are 6" higher than OE. The floor is 7" higher.
I borrowed a table saw to play w/some wood for the floor & have some offers to assist there as well from others w/more experience (I'm not a wood worker). Should have more progress pics after the holidays.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
