Support Ribs?

[87MJman]

ok this is bothering me really bad and i need to know 

does anyone know what the support rail is on the floor of the comanche that runs right over top the frame rail?

and if i can buy a new one 

please help

I don't know if you can buy that piece but I don't think its needed anyway, I scrapped it when I did my floorpan.

 

Haven't split the truck in half.. yet.

You mean the little angled piece that the ebrake cable runs through, right?

I assume you are referring to what I call the 'frame caps.'

 

I have never seen these for sale, but you can remove them.

[87MJman]

yes that is exactly what i am talking about 

thank you so much  

it was pissing me off haha

Likewise, Thanks "87 Warrior".

 

"Frame Caps"  (:

 

I appreciate the terminology.

 

On a similar yet different note:

 

 On the '72 FSJ (J-2000) I take care of for my Brother,

I replaced the floor pans with new mild steel ((1/8th inch I think (I'd have to look again)) tack-welded to the frame rails).

 

That Jeep dropped onto a bottle jack and just had a small dent made

in the passenger-side floor.

 

The point being: if the floor pans do need work, there are plenty of options,

especially if you weld yourself. 

 

For better "restorations" I absolutley would require stock parts.

 

Thanks again for the terminology.

hey maniac, did you drill out the spot welds to remove the frame cap? mine are in decent shape but to do a decent job on the floor i would like to remove them without damage.
