The saga continues.
The BIG question is - What was the factory process getting the floor in? I don't think it was designed to ever be replaced!
The short of it is... the plywood has 4 fixed flanges holding it in. 2 under it across the front and back, and 2 on top of it along both sides.
With the screwed down retainer strips across the front and back taken off I can see that removing one (or both) of the side strips would do the job.
Without doing that I'm still not sure how the floor will come out in one piece? Last night I cut off the driver seat platform. I cut out the spot-welds around the edge BUT then found out the back flange goes under the plywood and is spot-welded to the flange holding the plywood up. The seat platform needs to be rebuilt anyway so I cut it off. The front is now free but the plywood can't move forward because it is cut around the wheel wells.
I was going to take the back bottom of the tailgate off BUT it looks like after it was assemblid it was welded.
I'm taking pics...will post later
Any help, suggestions....
More later.....Buddy
GMONIZ - My floor matting is all dried out and very brittle. Part of the reason I'm working at getting the floor out in one piece is to get a pattern.
