Hey all! I am trying to fix up an old jeep cj-7 (1980) and have come across a problem! I was trying to install new body mounts but the part of the tub floor that sits on the mounts(floor frame?)is rusted out. Is there anyway to buy replacement floor panels with these on them? or can you cut off the old ones and weld on new ones?    If so where can I buy these? THanks alot for the upcoming answers guys!

I have seen them online but I can't remember the site, but I remember that I did a lot of searching and they were way too expensive.  Your best bet is to find a local sheet metal shop and have them fab up some replacements for you.  A basic "hat channel" is relatively easy to bend and most local shops can do it to any dimensions.  Or you could always find a donor CJ.  
Happy trails!
