'66 Deluxe with the spare tire spot in the bulkhead.
Do I need to cut this heater pipe out and weld in back in afterwards to lay the floor in?

Can't seem to get the floor to lay past the bulkhead which sticks out.

Take that drink tray off, it might buy you enough room.

I used the same floors on mine, but I had a slightly different approach, because it is difficult to weld the rear edge of the floor to the slanted panel.

Here you find the documentation ho I did it:

The minimum will be to temporarily remove the heater tube.
