All of the above.. the left wall will have some added weight (down low) and I didn't know another way to support the ends of the walls. The added home made rear rib on the right side serves the same purpose. I'm prolly over thinking the whole thing, but that's what I do 79 B-200

Looking foward to meeting you at Spring Thaw. Might have my Ford with me, not completed but we will see how much they have done and if drivable. Like those switches. Can't wait to see the finished van.

I picked up a trailer hitch mounted cargo tray. A month later an in truck bed style tool box. That's when the light bulb went off.. (keep your comments to yourself Heavy389) Why not make a ready to go box to put behind the van at a moment's notice. I notched the sides of the carrier to accept the box. Installed a couple of nutserts to hold a tag.. I'll add a couple of marker lights & a tag light just because. Between the two items I only have $40, so why not.
