Time to do the rear..
I've chosen a different approach than many others have. Normally I've seen people get a completer floor for the cabin, welding the truck bed onto it and putting the cabin and front onto it afterwards.
Being in Denmark ment that my panel-pusher couldn't supply me with an entire floor pan, which is why I kept the tunnel while replacing the floor sides only (see previous posts).
I got the entire rear end including the panel between the cabin and bed. My idea was to stiffen around the B-posts, cut away all of the truck bed an then replace everything starting with the bed pan itself.
The small gap shoving the floor bed and B-post isn't connected:
Starting off by removing the temporary supports from earlier and finishing the heelboard weldings. Seen in the picture above.
New heavy duty brackets made from 2+ mm steel
Also refurbishing the panel supporting the front of the bed. Putting that one in first:
Some of the parts being cut away:
Trial fit of the new panels:
Looks sooo simple. Took forever...
