For anyone needing to replace them...... it is not a standard size but can be easily ordered from fabricating shops..... I beleive 1.75 x 1.75..... they usally only stock 1.0 or 1.5 or 2 x2 .......

Note that the original was fabricated from 3 pieces..... two curved ends and a straight central piece.... which is not a bad idea as it lets you do the bends then weld the central straight piece but allowes you to make the overall dimension exactly for the width you need....... Phil has good documentaion on how to slice the angle iron... heat....bend... and fill the gaps with Mig welding..... once the flap grinder has gone over it you cannot tell the difference.

Also.... not that the angle iron piece at the bottom of the back wall is exactly the same as the angle iron located at the halfway point between top and bottom section....even the bolt holes are the same..... therefore if you have access to a spare cab ...even if the bottom section is rusted... you can salvage the midway angle iron for the bottoom of your restoration.....

So Jason...... when are we going to see "in progress pictures" of your baby.... to bad you are so far away.
