Ok so apparently the jeep I got from my grandpa was a 3a tub on a 2a frame. The tub was rusted out so I bought a replacement tub thinkin it was a 2a. Now I have 3a seat frames, in great condition, that I'm trying to shove in a 2a tub. My question is how can I modify the frame to fit so I don't have to buy new frames?

I think I would offer a trade in the "For Sale / Trade" section. Someone may have the opposite dilemma, or just want to move their seats back.   BW

I agree with Bruce.  3A seats are hard to come by.  (less were made)

You could shorten the horizontal tube if you don't want to trade them.
