...so here is my cut plan. The left section in the photo will go to Hasting. It's 6" wide which should allow enough just in case the layout isn't perfectly square. I will cut on the bold black line. The right hand section will go to Mulegal and it is 9" wide. The latter section was attached to the bed brace and the spot welds were drilled out, so there will be some holes to weld where the spot weld cutter went through the bed....should be easy. I will remove the section which was cut for the gas filler lid and partially cut for another of the same. That way you don't even have to worry about that area and won't have to pay to ship it. I will split the sections with a shear on the dotted line...that should make shipping much easier and save money at the same time. You both will get the full width and edge of the floor that has the "half-rib" to join on each side. So, mulegal and Hasting, I need your addresses. Just PM me here. I'll get the pieces wrapped and, once I have your address, I'll get you an accurate shipping quote.

You da man Resonateur!!! Much much much appreciated for going so much out of your way for us. I haven't been a member long enough according to the rules so I can't yet PM you. Here's my work number, just give me a ring. 352-521-4427. That's a direct line to me.

If you do an advanced search or a google search you should be able to find them. They may have some pieces available.
Evolutionary Rides is the place in Florida. I just ordered mine last week.
