Title: Floor Bracing Post by: FireKraka on November 17, 2013, 09:45:01 AM Guys I picked up a cheap ute the other day complete everything there body is not too bad but when I've cleaned all the crap out there is basically no floor or inner and outer sills.
I don't want to stress it too much and rotissing is way out of the question at the moment. After some advice as to where to brace inside the cab to give it some strength aim imagining diagonal front and back and side to side. Would appreciate any comments and photos of similar I may have to decide it is not saveable but hate to be defeated.

Hey Jim thanks for the info I sat yesterday and looked at my ute and was thinking the bracing would have to be something like what you did but the photos make it all clear I really appreciate your response it makes it a little less daunting (only a little) ;D regards Neil H Title: Re: Floor Bracing Post by: fcwrangler on November 18, 2013, 06:46:15 PM Neil, I used 50mm tube for the side braces and old hinge mounts for the front pillar, not sure how you can fit to the rear of the cab though. Maybe weld a plate to the rear pillar then fit the cross braces.
