No, it is tight, I also have a f-250 ext cab, makes for a tight turn, it is not as hard as it looks, neighbors love me around here, I also have a 24 ft enclosed car hauler I do swap meets with for car parts, bad thing is I store everything somewhere else since I have no room here!

It's not that hard when you do it regularly, I have to squeeze my boat and trailer at an angle through the gate in my back yard with 3" to spare on each side.

We laminate aluminum in the cockpit floor (underside) and through bolt our seat frames. Is there anyway to cut into the floor and through bolt? You can add the round pie eyes under the frames. Just a thought.

I agree with Cuda.. My tile body.
What ever you do,, you have to go THROUGH the floor.
I done it several ways with out making large holes. A) expension anchors. like toggle bolts. Drill 1" holes and put the toggles through. little epoxy or even caulk will fill in the enlarged wholes.
B) cut a 1" X 3" +- slot. insert a SST plate (1'x3" +-..1/4" thick at least)... with thread or a nut already attached to the bottom side.
Insert the plate and once you tighten the bolt.. turn the plate sideways so it grabs your deck. Fill in the acces gap./
THis way you are though bolting your connections.
Houghs Supplies have lot of different anchors. (or any contractors sply. house.
Good luck.
