bed floor pics

Looking for some photos of a steel bed floor. In particular, I'd like to see the area where the rear stake pockets are riveted/bolted to the floor. Does anyone have a photo of that area from the underside as well? Would like to see how the rear corners come together (or are held together). Thanks.

Re: bed floor pics

No to hijack this thread but is there any particular reason GM thought to weld those little areas of the stake pockets? I thought it was weird to weld there and no where else...

Re: bed floor pics

Thanks for posting those pics. Now I know why that seems to be a place where bed rust starts.

the tack welds are put there precisely to counteract a lever arm force applied at the top of the rear stake pocket pushing outward. the farther apart the two tack welds are from each other, the more lever-arm force it will resist. they are at the highest and lowest points on the brace they could be.

now if only the gm engineers made the ribs on the inside of the tailgates horizontal instead of vertical, we may have a few left today that aren't warped from being loaded!
