[T3] Rusty Seats!

["Mike" <fisherfarms@uwol.net>]

<x-flowed>I couldn't resist this 67 Square covered with blackberries @one of my free 
range brown egg customers.  I've always loved wagons!  It is complete and 
starts but the seats are frozen on the rails.  I've been wd 40 every day for 
2 weeks.  I have the chrome adjusters bungeechorded to the handbrake. 
Pounding with a wood block/mallet is just banging up my seat bases.  I can 
use my floor pans as I havn't seen replacements?  Will a Bug 
footwell/seatrails work in T3?  Any advice/consolation ?  Mike Fisher-----
