    Default Troop seat wood length?

    what is the length of the wood for the troop seats? I am measuring about 90 inches, and did a search on board and came up with anything from 87 to 91 1/4

    Thanks

    This is an email I got from Gary a while back in regards to the troop seats:

    "The planks are 3" tall by 3/4" thick and the total length is 87"
    The screws that attach the planks to the brackets are countersunk by a 11/16th" hole.
    The center off the mounting screws are roughly 1 1/2" from the ends of the planks.
    The top two planks have screws/bolts (measuring from inside of the bed behind the drivers side) at 1 1/2" - 41 1/2" - 45 1/2" - 85 1/2"
    The third rail on down has centered screws/bolts at 1 1/2 - 43 1/2" - and 85 1/2"
    The tabs that hold the seat up are 2 3/4" in from the ends.

    Now all my measurements were done alone with a 25' tape measure but they are close. I noticed minor irregilarities by 1/16th to 1/8th inches which I think is all about measuring dried up old wood."

    Hope it helps.

    I just completed mine in the last month using Ronner's measurments. You will need 6 planks for each side. I picked up a set of deuce and a half seats and repurposed the oak for my seats by cutting them down.
