I had to replace the metal behind it, but I have no idea what it was supposed to look like since mine was gone. Where I cut my 'B' post there are still spot welds to a 3/4" flange that is attached to the step up. What you can't see in the pic is a very small offset to the front, it makes that area alot cleaner for lining up to the 'B' post

How does it look from the back side?

Possibly like this

I'll crawl under and get some pics of the backside. Who know if it was ever wrecked, lol..... The doors shut fine. The rocker boxes are still mostly intact. At first a rip is what I thought but its not a rip. More like a weld gone bad. I'll post up when I do some more investigation/cutting.
