There is a pickup listed for sale and it says new U channel. Is that the piece that goes down either side of the frame from behind the bottom of the seatbacķ on a roadster to the rear of the body and connects to the floor under the turtle on a 26?
If that is it, are they available or do you manufacture your own?

That piece on my 26 pickup is rusted out for several inches behind the bucket.
