The rear axle right now is sitting more or less at the same level as the old bumpstop without a box on the truck, or fuel tank etc etc, so even with a c-notch it probably would have hammered it occasionally, and I may end up putting a 4-link & air on this thing down the road, so figured I might as well step it (plus I had the 3/16" steel anyhow, so it was just a matter of cutting it out and welding it up - trying to keep this as low-buck as possible - I'm only into this thing for about $3200 Canadian right now)

I've got a fleetside box that's in decent condition, so that's going to go on it (needs a bit of repair, but not too bad). I'm not to concerned about losing a bit of cargo area on this truck, it probably won't end up with anything in the bed anyhow, but I'm sure someone will be annoyed when I cut up the mint box floor lol.

If the short fleet floor is that nice/mint, cut up an old beat up floor & use the nice one above or build mounts to raise the entire mint floor.
