[SilverStreak] Rear floor replacement

["Jason Parks" <jjparks@xxxxxxx>]

Hi, thanks for link -- found your posting, really interesting. Nice that 
most of the screws weren't rusted into the frame. all mine are rusted beyond 
use and will have to cut them off and redrill the holes. I like the idea of 
replacing a single 4x8 sheet in 3 sheets. any problem with the seams showing 
though the floor? I can see the 3 peices make replacing the floor without 
removing the body a reality!

I'm thinking of using good one side 5/8 or 1/2 inch marine plywood. I'll 
measure the 5/8, maybe the actual measurement is 19/32"? Is this the factory 
specification?

Jason
