floor pan----HELP

[rfh11]

I am replacing the floor pans in a 1976. I searched the tech articles and they were helpful. My question is the brace the supports the floor pan across the bronco has a support coming off the rail on the drivers side that protrudes into the bronco about 8 inches. The pictures I looked at didn't have this piece. Was this added on or was it factory? The chanel support was also in two pieces that joined over the support. The joint was just clear of the body bushing bolt. Should I just remove the support if it wasn't factory. I don't think it is attached very well. Thanks for your help.

Does the piece have 4 bolts ?
If so, you may be looking at the aux gas tank strap support.

Is is the rear channel were your floorpan meets the rear floor, and the body bushing mount to it? If so it should be one piece, and the extensions you're talking about tie into the inner rockers and the rear door post.

Thanks for the replies. I believe that it is the aux tank support. The only other thing is why was the floor support in two pieces? Thanks again.
