Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

Thanks guys! Appreciate the comments and especially the prayers! Wife is feeling better today so she insisted I go to the shop. She really wanted me to stay off Ebay and Craigs since I kept finding vehicles I wanted to buy.

Last floor piece went in and I even cut the hole for the differential in the correct location. Wow.

Drilled a ton of holes every 3 inches with a 5/16" diameter for plug welding.

Welded the floor in place. Next up is to build a cover over the differential hole.

Guys, I am way up for suggestions on the cover. I have in mind a simple 2" tall box made with 16 gauge....not very inspired. If I was a metal shaper a blister shape would look good. And the box would be covered by a rear seat...or if no rear seat could cover it with an old cooler / tool box / wood box / etc with no bottom in it.

Other ideas?
