[Fot] Floor pans

[EDWARD BARNARD]

Group: Earlier this year I bought a new (to me) car trailer and had to take
the TR250 that was on it. I have been selling off the parts on Ebay. In the
collection of "stuff" was a set of rockers from this company. They can best be
described as poor examples. The metal is so thin I think my welder would have
a hard time to not blow holes in it even on the lowest setting. They sell
these for $99, and I felt happy to get $25 for the pair. I am currently
putting in a set of BMH floorpans in a customers "6" and these make the others
companies product look like scrap metal.
JMHO

at least a couple of companies that
made panels and partial panels for pretty
much everything.
