After I send this post, I will look through the pictures I have on this tablet and see if any show it in enough detail. I'll post in the event that they show anything useful.

Okay, here is a cross sectional view of the passenger rear corner looking forward from the bumper. This photo was taken when I was performing rust remediation.
In the top right of the image, you can see the chair rail curling under (I call this the "foot"). I cut off the "foot" to make the repairs. The chair rail wall appears to turn back down 90 degrees from the floor, along the end of the floor and back UNDER the floor about two inches. So the chair rail holds the flooring on top AND bottom. You can just make out two spot welds welds along the floor where I cut out the chair rail "foot". The floor is also welded to the chair rail on the underside where the pieces of flooring sections form the I-beam. There are also welds where the floor meets the curved "foot" of the chair rail all along the side the length of the floor (on the inside). These spot welds are more like short seam welds of one inch to two inches.
