Floor panels sold on ebay

Post by Oldsalt »

I see floor panels being sold on ebay for a lot less than the panels I find on the various parts sellers websites. Does anyone have an opinion on the quality of these panels? Why are they so much cheaper than others? I find one listed for an M38A1 for only $40 per side.

Thanks

If it is the ones I think they are then they do not fit; more of the CJ5 variety. I bought some from classsic enterprizes and they were essentially flat sheet metal with a break on one end. The amount of work involved to install was equal to making my own. Embosses were not in the metal just flat steel cut to a pattern with one break. I used midwestmil type and it was worth every penny in the end.

Thanks, I kinda figured it would be that way. Thats why I'm asking. I've always believed that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
