Well its been awhile, and alot of you know the chevy truck is UP for sale, I have not sold it yet, but have have had some interesting calls. A major TV show Chopper shop in FLORIDA , and some other guys expressed some interest, but wanted to trade for stuff, but had nothing I really needed or I could sell easily, (some cool stuff though), I declined, SO.... whatever.....I keep working......... ANYWAYS the truck's floor never got finished, so I decided I should finally build the trans tunnel for it and finish up the floor. , S0..... I sheared up some .050 aluminum and finished the tunnel, and here's what I came up with.... I still need to add the "nutserts" and screw it down, but I think it will work out good. PLUS it'll never rust out!!!!!! LUKESTER

Seriously??? Means they were giving you an award but looking for you as you probably didn't have a windshield tag to fill out the info.

Damn nice looking floor. I would say it is up to the high standards you set with the whole truck.
Also looks like the new project is coming along nicely. Keep us posted.
