I thought i would pull the false floor (3mm chequer plate) out of the back of my little truck.
Im none to happy with what i found. Repairable just i rekon.

So theres a change in plans, ive got some steel so my mate and i (its to thin to weld with the arc and hes got a mig) are going to knock up a flat bed frame. He said hes got some hard wood tongue and groove floor boards he can donate to make up the floor and head board and possibly some sides if i can be stuffed with hinges etc.

Then with the tray on it off to get it on the road. Well thats once the brakes etc are all fixed.

Then when its time to put the bigger motor in it it can be painted and fitted up with the repaired tub.

Bob.
