here's the pics. a bit dusty, but otherwise ok. yes, i was one of the jack--ses that cut them out of the bed. they were useless and in the way. i would do it again. i work with a lot of antique tractors, and yes i frequently wish that farmer modifications hadn't been made. but having been there, i understand how they come about. for the most part (except when dealing in antiques and collectibles)) we buy autos and machinery to use and be functional. we don't buy them thinking about what going to happen to them 30, 40 or 70 years down the line. i wanted the bed of the brat to be usable.
if anyone wants to buy these, email me directly at forkhds@aol.com with an offer. I'm willing to find a box and pack them up and ship domestically if you're willing to pay for it.
