    What about the ones for the PU trucks from the late 40's and early 50's?
    They are availible as reproductions from the PU repo parts companys as well as the door seal people.

    Has anyone tryed one of those?

    Thinking you could just put in a Marine access hatch. Here's a 8" that would work fine even with a double pumper...

    Want me to cut ya out some circles from plate steel? Its easy enough to make the basic shape , the hard part is making something that would snap in and seal tight. I can layer 2 pieces so it doesnt move much in the hole?

    I spilt my opening and moved half of it back and filled in the sides and made an oblong hole, then just set a piece of plate in it. but my floor was a mess anyway and it didnt bother me hacking it up some..LOL
