Where can a person buy rivets for the frame crossmembers?
And, no I do not want to use bolts. I need to replace several items and would like rivets.

I looked all over he11 for them about a year ago. Finally gave up. I found smaller ones at a tractor supply place. The only place I didn't try was a GM dealer.

I got mine from Ed Cooper at "MOTHER TRUCKERS" # (941) 756-4905
I only needed four of them, so Im pretty sure he still has some.

I have 200 in stock. 1.00 each.

Ed is there a tool you have to buy to install them? Thank's Jason.

Ed, I will call you. I need about 15-18.

! made a tool out of 3/4 round stock with the correct cove to fit the rivets contour when set, we use in an air chisel and a frame clamp that hooks over the top edge on the outside of the frame to hold the hot rivet while i beat it in to place.

Tried to call you today. My mistake. It was 3:15. Central time. I forgot you were in Florida. I will call you tomorrow.
