Now wouldn't that be a cool use for the flat floor!

What I have seen,  this dealer installed option came with some parts 
from Chevrolet, and some pieces, notably the longer steel and plywood, 
dealer supplied.

>>2.  What would be the advantage of creating a "flat floor"?

You need a special need, like above, for the "flat floor" to make good 
sense -- it totally negates the idea of the ramp on a Rampside, and 
makes an inaccessible space on a Loadside (unless you add a hatch 
door).  I believe some possible history of this option has been posted 
on this list previously.

Once you have seen one, you realize there is more to it than just the 
drawings in the assembly manual -- the center legs pivot or hinge out of 
the way for loading a large object under the floor.
