I need a set myself

Steve, The wood I can handle, I make furniture. I need the tube steel frames. My bases are full of holes, the backs are OK.

Thanks.

I had the whole transmission tunnel...I let one of the guys from the club take it....

The rear was a little ratty where the flanges that meet the floor. Youll need to weld a flange on If you want Ill make a call and see if he still has it.

Na.... If I have to do a bunch of work on it I might as well make one. Made one for the TD, not too bad, about an evening 'na half.

I'd like to find one in usable condition.

Thanks though.

OMG

I have come to realize that the crumpled lump thrown in with the rest of my sheet metal is the rear tunnel. Somebody ran it over.

Well... quite honestly, it hasn't got a speck of rust on it - so.....

I've fixed worse.

Honestly, if it wasn't for the drain scuppers I wouldn't have known what it was.


....... THICK carpet.

A 2x4 mounted on something heavy like a Sherman tank will be pressed into service, no doubt.
