No.

What you need to do is replace the trunk floor while the body is on the chassis before going on a rotisserie. If you have the body on a rotisserie you are supporting half of the weight on the rear body cross member. Take a real hard look at your replacement trunk pan and decide what works. If a new cross member is welded to the trunk pan, you have your answer.
