I went back out last night cus i wanted the hinge pocket out. It just kept bugging me. I could not find any welds holding it in. The bottom end was rotted out, but there should have been 4 or 5 at the top attaching it to the floor pan. Nothing there, never was. I tugged on it a bit and it fell out onto the floor. You can see in the pic there are no spot welds across the top. I found this humorous since im the guy taking it out.
