    Like, so many.
    I delivered furniture for them (and the store in Metairie) when I lived there. We were on the west bank a lot.

    He is closer than driving to SC. Very unlikely anyone will make a custom skid without your truck to build it off of.

    But not as convenient for me. bolt holes just need to be extended 2 inches exactly on each side of skid. Basically same skid just 2 inches longer.

    Its a huge hassle for me to take him my truck. He lives an hour and a half away. Then i have to find someone to take me. Then i have to wait for him to get finished and get someone to take me back up there. Just isnt practical. Id rather just pay more for shipping honestly for something like skids.

    Maybe have one of the guys on here drop their truck off for you to use, they'll take yours to the guy, get it done, and you pay them for their time?

    Will RCIs mid skid not fit? I’d just drop the coin and order from them! All skids fit differently and may not be compatible with each other. I bet @BamaTaco56 could fab one up for you!

    Ah ok, I see your dilemma now. RCIs mid skid is basically a flat piece of metal. Not much to it, I bet a fab shop could make you one, or Trey can!

    Can you measure your bolt hole lengths on your transmission skid? I was thinking maybe 3rd gen skid might be a bit longer than second gen. I know the transmission itself is longer.

    I can do it when I get home today. If it’s not pouring down rain! The bolt holes are slotted too, so you can adjust forward or backward if needed.

    The mid skid looks like it has a slight bend in it.

    the bend wont matter since the mounting surface is the same. I need 26 inches from ifs skid bolt hole to other side bolt hole.

    If you don’t have the local guy fab you up something I’d email SOS with the details of what you’d like to get done.
