Block did not make it back from the machine shop. So, full of ambition from my visit to the Coop, I decided to swap out my seat bases for offset late model ones. However removing the stock base provided a little surprise.
New GMC Shopping rule:
If the side ashtray is rusted out, the floor under the window probably looks like this:

One of the POs was gracious enough to "repair" the leak by pouring epoxy on the rotted wood...It was mush all around the epoxy.
So in case anyone is wondering what the aluminum framing looks like under the floor:

and the detail on the routed deck:

It looks as if one could build up the deck by using 2 layers of 1/4" and a center layer of 1/2" plywood glued together, if one was not handy with a router. I may have to try this.
Not having any luck finding marine plywood, not that it helped the original stuff, so I will have to waterproof some regular plywood.
