They can be fixed. Yeller's floor had stuff done to it I still can't explain. I had a chunk of floor I sawzalled out of a 71 LB in a salvage, so I used that to fix the 7 holes, some large. (Fist sized) Used the spotweld cutter and cut the rear sill and 3 crossmembers out, then used a sledge and some 6x6 wood chunks to straighten it, then welded 'er all back together. Can't tell anything ever happened, especially after the bedliner. Doooo Itttt! Truck Is lookin' great!
