After a quick search I havent been able to find any good photos of a ladder bar install here on the site.
If any body has some good ones they took while they were doing their car it would be appreciated. I am within two days work of starting to weld my ladder bar frame rails back in the car and would like to see others ideas before I start. I am mainly curious how other people have done their trunk area.Thanks.

Sounds like you are using some type of stock floor frame rails, S&W maybe? If so, the trunk area view won't change much unless you enlarge the wheel wells.

No using a set of universal frame kit. I bought a set from Jegs. If you have ever seen their universal frame rails there isnt a drop after the rear-end for the trunk. So I am hoping to see what others have done. Have my ideas but seeing others may finalize my idea or improve on it.

Do you intend to keep the stock floor? Are you keeping the leaf springs or converting to coil overs? If you keep the leaf springs you will have to build slider mounts to work properly with your ladder bars. Where are you taking this?

I already converted to coil overs. This car has seriously been rigged. Most of the welded supports have been broken off by hand or beaten off with a hammer. They had kept the leaf springs but didnt convert the rear end to a floating leaf spring set-up. Oh and when I took them off I discovered they had used utility trailer leaf springs. I could go on and on with all the stuff i have found half done. I am staying with a ladder bar set-up to try to retain the rear seat. Yes I am taking the extra steps to make the rear as safe as possible for the passengers to ride in a caged car. So keeping a stock floor isnt a big issue to me.
