ok i have a few questions about the whole subfloor thing. so after you have your subfloor in like in the picture above...do you just lay in the sheet metal and tac it down like any other sheet metal work?

thanks everyone!!! another quick question.
if i was to cut the floor out completely in my truck think id run the risk of cracking out my cal combo?? i have 1X1 square tube between the sides supporting the combo!

it would make it 100 times easier to cut the floor out set it on the truck and fab the frame up and around everything,
