The belly pan was steel from the Factory, but they are commonly damaged beyond repair or simply rust away due to leaks from the battery. Steel replacement belly pans are simply unavailable, but fiberglass replacements are available that are very serviceable if properly installed and not abused (they are more prone to breaking than the steel versions)
