grined off what was left , fliped over and worked out, fiberglassed a sheet of cabnet 3/4 ply wood should be able to stand on top with out caving in .and bedliner on top
also fixed the ring

That is a great idea. I am insulating my cab and was trying to come up with something to straighting the roof. You can jump on 3/4 wood that has been glassed. Good work.
