Re: Project: Recycle
Scoti,...
I planned on just cutting a round hole and shoving my "homemade" adapter up thru the bed floor (from the bottom side) and welding in place. I made the step the same height as the bed floor rib. Still haven't installed it,... but here's a few pics of the piece I made. I don't have your welding skills, so I have to make do.

I was going to have a buddy tack weld it in place from the bottom,... and then finish weld it from the top. I wanted something thicker than sheet metal, so I could tap the holes and use stainless machine screws instead of sheet metal screws.

I actually considered doing a little from each of my choices from the previous pics (weld in a flat piece of steel across multiple floor runners beveling the edges between to match the factory & simply mount the filler in the center). I figured if my 1st attempt didn't work out, it's simply a matter of cutting it out @ welding in the flat piece.

Re: Project: Recycle
SCOTI, we should have spent more time, as yours looks better, but the filler landed to the far right of one of the humps, and as i stated we took the EASY way out. Keith i like that adapter plate, well thought out.
