Aluminum Belly Pan

The "belly skin" was in pretty rough shape when we removed it when we first started working on the trailer.....it had some severe corrosion - lots of holes.

I tried to clean it up and we thought about patching the holes....but have eventually decided it must be replaced with new. 

The belly pan is almost 5' wide - and most aluminum sheet is sold only 4' wide.   Using 4' wide sheets would require piecing....not ideal.

So, after literally hours on the internet and phone, I found a grat supply house in Greensboro that stocked 5' aluminum sheeting! 

They had the sheeting in stock -  Duane had to fabricate a structure to secure it to our pickup since the 5' width is wider than the pickup bed.

The supply house was amazing - any metal or tubing you could possibly want was there!

Metal all  secure and ready for the ride home!  Now the real work on it can begin.
