Just to be clear about the 2x4 wood pieces...none of the main supports on the frame were made from the 2x4 wood pieces. The wood pieces were basically attachment points fer when I installed an upper cover fer the main belly pan. I found out that the wood does retain water and will eventually rust out the steel studs in that area.
Here's the only big piece I had on the frame...
It only took me about 45 minutes to skin the main belly pan frame and install it back on the truck. A quick run around town yielded no issues or added noises. It was comforting to be able to not hear the road noises emanating from the bottom of the truck again.
Here's what an out of focus shot of the new skin looks like...and it looks like I left off a fastener on the Coroplast side.
