Francis/Orrin,

What exactly does the "oval metal base" look like for the dishpans?  I have 
probably seen them at shows but never paid any attention to them.  Orrin
made 
reference to the trucks having the oval base already on it.  I looked in
BRB, 
but did not see anything that caught my eye, but maybe overlooked. Thanks
Dave, 
but I already guessed it was oval!!

Thanks,

Oval might be a bit of a misnomer, but it's the easiest way to describe
them.  

Imagine a piece of light weight channel iron made out of sheet metal.  Now,
imagine it bent to form two parallel sides with semi-circular ends.  That's
about as good a description that I can manage.  

The cart I bid on was obviously "factory."  The brackets that bolted to the
oval were either cast or forged to conform to the shape of the frame.  

Regards,

Orrin
