Thanks IronClad. I am pretty sure after watching this that this is a dealer built body as it has an aftermarket gusset between the crossmember and the longsill. I have never seen any factory built body use that type in my 48 years in the business and I have traveled extensively. So I'd put my money on a local built body. Nothing at all wrong with that and are often built stronger than the big brands. But think about self tapping Torx screws on the floor replacement. A lot less work.
