[QUOTE="pwshepard, post: 218944, member: 6720"] BaitCaster, Thanks for comments. I'll take a few pics of the supports soon. It may be hard to see the details, since they all have truck liner on them now. Basically, I ran four pieces from the front seat to the middle seat. On the end of the angle aluminum, I cut one side of about 1 1/2 inches so the other side of the angle would overlap the bench seat. This gave me plenty of metal to rivet into. The four long pieces provide all the support I need. I thought I would need a couple vertical pieces for extra support, but that's not the case. I'm around 195 and I feel no sag in the deck when I walk around. Also, I added a small piece on each end that got rivetted directly to the bench seat, this was strickly for extra support for the deck lids. In the back, I used two braces, one about 33" long that was rivetted directly to the back of the back bench seat and the other was attached to the transom that is used as a stop for the rear deck lid. Pics to follow. [/QUOTE]
