Thanks R46! It does take time. Did you notice all the squiggle mark out lines in the middle picture? I traced all the braces and edge lines from underneath then somehow switched the floor panel end for end to mark out holes for body mounts. Even had the panel marked front / back,,,ugh,

I can't help to think a cool sliding door on each side that would let you have access to that area, as like a hidden compartment or an endless amount of things you can put in there.

Yeah 99, I am thinking box is pretty quick. Have the materials and could knock it out after church. Hmm...lots of storage to the side like a 1980's Buick Electra wagon. Maybe.

This might sound funny but you could by a large metal bowl for like salads and stuff and just weld it in.
Here is an idea of what I'm talking about. Not necessarily SS but you get the general idea.

You can get them in different diameters and you could even cut them down to the height that you wanted. Ok quit laughing...

Hey Marc I am not laughing! I was looking for an old differential cover, didn't have one I could find then was thinking of our big stainless salad bowl. I used a sink drain for the fuel surround through the truck bed on the 48. Love your alternative idea!

Marc sure did. Mini wheel tub...hmmm....maybe something like two trailer fenders cut down and welded together...

Wouldn't be too difficult to make. Still like the salad bowl idea. Will be thinking about it. Jim, They sure do - Proverbs 31:10.
Thinking I could make use of this half roll I have.... Cut it down to size, will have flat sides.
Thanks guys,
Doug
