[A/S] Belly Pan!

[foyboy99@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I would like some opinions! I am staring to fix up a 62 Overlander and I 
keep thinking that I 'll put all this time and money into it to find out 
that it is too  rusted to travel with.My wood  floor had very little rot 
by jalosy window but frame that I could see was fine , ,rust on frame 
that sticks out for bumper to mount  to ,and a little rust on front of 
trailer where belly pan raps over cross brace on a frame hitch ,not 
talking rust color but RUST. Here is what I can do, my friend has a 
forklift that picks 42,000 lbs.  9 ft. forks 8 ft. spread. Lift whole 
trailer from the side on either side of axles to about 7 ft. so I can 
walk under. ,At this point should I drill out rivets and drop pan???? I 
am capable of re-riveting or screwing pan back on, even have access to 
hydraulic rivet gun.The pan seemed to have alot of powdery dirt in it 
when I replaced small section of floor..Give me some input please!
