4-15-09: My plan to take care of this is to weld in some 10 gauge steel plate. This will add strength and give me something solid to weld the front floors and the replacement front cab mount braces to. So I grabbed a couple sheets of tag board/poster board (whatever you want to call it ) and made a couple templates. I transferred the templates onto a 2' x 4' sheet of 10 gauge steel. Then I cut it out with a jigsaw. Cutting 10 gauge steel with a jigsaw takes forever! :black_eye: :mat: I'm going to cut some windows out of these plates so I can get into the areas if I need to. I'll add some trim pieces to cover the holes. I had to cut a big notch out of the passenger side plate to clear the fresh air vent for the heater.
