rear bed floor corner pieces
This is left rear bed floor corner from the bottom
Notice the 1/2" extra bed floor sticking out that I am going to beat down later to look like the factory rear edge.

rear bed floor corner pieces
This is right rear bed floor corner from the bottom.
Figures that the piece I needed was rusty and I needed to fix it up a bit. Clamped it in with vice grips to take a look but would need to fix rust hole. found some other little scraps that sort of matched the detail needed. Tacked in place.

bed floor rear
Tacked it slowly one little bit at a time then eventually was finished and ground it down.
This is left rear bed floor corner. I'd sometimes clamp some copper in behind it to make it easier to weld the gaps. Getting smooth

bed floor white boards
I probably put 40 hours into this bed floor but I didn't spend any money!
Seriously I enjoy building things without going out to the parts store or waiting for the UPS truck, but there were a lot of steps to this bed floor and more to come.

rear bed support
Replaced rusty rear bed support with one of the long bed pieces that I patiently removed by grinding out the spot welds.
I just rosette welded through the old spot weld holes. I wish I remembered all the measurements to put here in this thread.

rear bed support tail piece
The cool thing about doing the rear of the bed floor this way is the very rear bed support/tail piece can just be rosette welded on through the old drilled out spot welds. Check the coyote customs youtube for this.
See the 1/2" overhang that I am going to beat down later. You can see the overhang here better (also my booger welds!).

beat down rear bed floor lip
Here I just beat down the 1/2" overhang. It actually looks pretty good in person even though not every hammer blow was perfect.

rusty bed floor hole
One bed bolt hole was rusted away so I patched it with a piece from the scrap.
My 40 hour bed floor was finally done other than some seam sealer and a few details.
