[DirtDauberGarage]

Here is the link to CCOT's rear sill replacements and sheet metal. Like I said, there are others, but I was happy with the quality and fit of these.

This is a pretty good picture. You can see the floor in-between the rear cap and the sill itself. Folded over and comes down about half way down. The original sill is offset for the floor. Then has V shaped offset on the lower half. Not sure that was for drains. There were minor changes in the sill from 61 to 79 when the sill changed design.

This is a picture from earlier in this thread. I'm fortunate to been at this a while and live in Arizona. Never had to tackle a rear sill

Would anyone be able to please measure their OEM sill from a 1975 to 1978? I am missing one specific dimensions. Please could you share the highlighted dimensions with me. It is where the rear bed floor and the sill connect.

Only picture I could find of my 10/75. The floor does not butt up against the sill. The floor continues on and is bend over over the sill.

Thanks. Here is a pic of what the missing dimension is.
