I know these are kind of rare... Wish it was closer to me I would pick it up! https://nh.craigslist.org/pts/d/jeep-comanche-long-bed-cap/6705763795.html Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

They are still producing, my dad still works there I can't say for sure why the parts houses are eliminating stock. They may have stopped producing certain part numbers. They may have lost a contract with them or something. In the last three years that I was there they lost multiple contracts with different aftermarket and OEM companies Ford, GM, BMW, CAT and others.

Timken is still in business. Until last year in March I worked there the split that you are referring to was completed to better "diversify" the opportunity for the individual markets, bearings and steel. The new companies are Timken Steel and Timken Bearings. Unfortunately this company is like every other american manufacturing company and has decided to go "lean" and send jobs overseas. I will attest to the fact that quality was number one in the past at Timken, however recently with the pressures of lowering cost they decided to go with cheaper labor, and less care for quality work I am afraid that the company has took a step in the wrong direction.

Awesome, My guess would be for the handle to lean the seat forward.

My bench has head rest and it was factory you may be able to find one in scrap yard with them already (link to pic http://comancheclub.com/topic/35789-ncbench-seat-no-brackets-or-rails-free/)

Yeap that would be it the pass. Side is not to bad but the driver side looks like a jagged mess I'm planning on buying this truck any ways but just wondering if I would just be able to grind it down smooth or if doing that would it open the seam of the body

I have searched multiple times for an answer to this with no luck so here it goes. I have found a Comanche for sale that is almost 100% rust free and in good running condition the only problem it has is the guard that is above the drivers door is rusted real bad( on other members rides it looks as if there is a chrome or black cover on this guard), from the looks of it it looks like this is a body seam where the roof meets the door frame. Has anyone ever ground this down flat or is grinding this off going to open up a can of worms?
