Thanks! Yes, that rear cross sill by the tailgate is one of the pieces we had to have reproduced by the local metal shop. We also had to have them remake many of the wide flange pieces that go around the perimeter of the bed floor (where the wood meets up with the bedsides & inner fenders).

We had to replace those metal strips that go between the planks too. Fortunately, Mar-K does offer those with the holes all pre-punched to fit the 73-80 long fleetside applications.
