If you are saving it, us a drill and drill the spots out or use a spot weld remover. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 28 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 28 | Thats what it looked like....I will try and save it...just in case I want to go back to bench...As it stands 2005 chevy van front seats.

I'm not sure on this, but when you remove the frame, you are going to loose some stiffness in the floor...might have to make up for it somehow.

Thanks

This is just a cautionary thought. After you buzz the factory frame piece off, jump around on the floor and see if it has become squishy!
I have never done this, but it just looks like the frame adds some integrity and strength to the big flat floor board...maybe not.
Stuart | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 28 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 28 | I will ck it out Stuart. Thanks for the heads up... I have seen them cut out...but never looked under the cab.
