ABSTRACT:
To restore the cosmetic appearance of the load box floor in a pick-up truck or cargo van, a prefabricated and prepunched metal reconditioning panel is placed over the existing damaged load floor and attached thereto with the same bolts used to secure the damaged floor to the vehicle frame. The punching of holes in the reconditioning panel creates small spacers between the installed panel and floor assisting in the dissipation of moisture without loss of strength. Downturned edge flanges on the reconditioning panel engage existing calked floor joints to form a weather-tight seal between the existing floor and panel when the panel is bolted down.
