How did attaché the plywood to floor over e track
I used a little bit of Super Glue. Now I can't move the dang thing. It really gets in the way when loading and unloading.

Sorry, I couldn't resist having some fun with your auto-correct typo.
If you have a GM or Ford van with 50" high doors you want to be careful with floor thickness. I glued ⅜ plywood as a sub floor using construction adhesive. I put a dab of adhesive every few feet along the floor ribs. Kinda like Brylcreem. Just enough to hold the plywood.
I then laid the E-Track, making sure the bolt holes lined up with the raised floor ribs. I used stainless steel bolts, nuts and lock washers wherever possible. GM van have sheet metal pan on the underside of the van from the rear forward about 2 feet, making it impossible to run bolts. Here I used self-tapping screws, drilling a small pilot hole first.
Caution: Before drilling any holes make sure you know where you are drilling. There are all kinds of crazyass stuff like gas lines, brake lines, gas tanks etc. on the underside. Be careful!
After the E-Track was secured I filled in the spaces between the runs with ½ composite board planks (½ plywood works fine) screwing it into the subfloor. This installation leaves the E-Track slightly recessed allowing pallets to easily slide along the floor.
At the door end I installed a length of vertical E-Track to protect the ends of the floor and to provide additional securing points. I finished it off by spraying a rubberized undercoating on all of the protruding screw tips and nuts on the under side of the van. I would recommend spending a few bucks more and go with galvanized E-Track.
