What happens here

The large, heavy steel plate that forms the main floor of the dump bed is carefully maneuvered and slid into position atop the supporting cross members. The team ensures precise alignment and a flush fit before tack welding the plate to the frame, temporarily securing it for further full welding to ensure a robust and stable base for the dump bed.

Goal: Install the main floor panel of the dump bed.
