1.5" x 2.5" channel for side of spryte bed

[spencerhenry]

i am completely rebuilding the bed of my spryte. 1.5" square tube is easy to find. but after a little looking, i am not finding the 'c' channel for the sides of the bed. anyone know where to find it? or what are some ideas for not building the bed exactly the same as it was?

also, my spryte is a 5 man cab. the bed ends before the end of the frame. i was going to lengthen it by 10" to make it an even 9'. that makes it end just past the end of the frame. how long is the bed on a passenger cat? and what is the easiest way to remove the cab from the machine?

what is the easiest way to remove the cab from the machine?

A stick of dynamite, and a long fuse?

Just have someone press brake some material to the dimensions you need thats
is what we do. Then you can pick the thickness you want
