Michael,
My 1975 Avion built on a 1974 GMC has the sheet aluminum and foam front to
rear.

HI BOB, NO, THE SUB-FRAME IS UNDER THE FLOOR AND RUNS FROM THE BACK OF THE
FRONT WHEELS TO THE BACK OF THE REAR WHEELS. IT IS SECTIONED AND A SHEET OF
ALUMINUM IS FITTED INTO EACH SECTION. ON TOP OF THIS IS A NON-FLEXIBLE DENSE
FOAM. THEN COMES THE 3/4 INCH PLYWOOD FLOOR. MY 74 DOES NOT HAVE THIS. THE
76 EDGEMONTE IS THE FIRST MODEL I HAVE SEEN THAT HAS THIS. ALL 77 AND 78
MODELS HAVE IT AS FAR AS I KNOW......Thx, Michael at GEMRECS

improving it to sell. Only has 67k on the original engine. Remember, the
Edgemointe came with rear twin beds/sofas and a dry bath and lots of 77/78
features(dinette, front swivel seats, Electro Level I air suspension system,
late style windows, the aluminum sub-frame and better insulation and more.

> Mike--I knew about the bath and twin beds, but I'm surprised about the
other stuff. I wonder how GM managed such different systems while at the
same time still building regular 76 production. When you say aluminum sub
frame, do you mean the front side structure?

The 1975 model year had many significant changes. The change in the floor framing, change to 3/4" plywood and floor insulation are included in this. According to the GMC literature I believe all 1975 and later GMC's with inhouse interiors would have the floor insulation. For Transmodes there was option BRQ for $95 which was available.
