I looked at your pics, especially the interior pic with the removed wood. You have a different panel than most that I have seen. Compare your panel interior to the Bus, does the side panels go up to the exterior belt line? It does in the Suburban, at least it is built up to the belt line with an additional panel which house the window drains and tailgate retractors. The CE finishes below the belt line and has bed rails installed to the top of the interior (it's boxed and attached both the interior panel and the exterior panel together.) If it is a panel based bus they may have determined that is was best to use the wood platform from the one ton CE for strength. Let me know what you find in your panel. .........g
