1st panel fitting




nos metal welded in




original wood




adding L bend steel in corners (same guage as original frame) of interior bed framing






trailer fenders bonded to panel sides increasing body stability




2 sheets of 3/4 inch plytanium tongue and groove split in center... entire floor is 3/8 inch from body...then silicone is used as buffer between floor and body...when cured it became a flexible seal that also adds strength to body side bracing.




wood is just for looks now




fenders are ready for wide tires if need be I will be using 15 inch thins all around
