Pedal Steel

Hello Everyone, a friend suggested this forum.
I've just been left this Fender..i think a pedal steel, I have the foot pedals, but none of the rods. Can anyone advise on what it really is....I'm a keyboard player really, so i will probably sell it, but i'd love to find out more. I have the legs too.
Cheers
Gary

Hi Gary, I dont think it was built to have pedals i think its a lap steel with legs made with some Fender parts and I think its long scale, needs a tidy up but someone will love it.

The casting below suggests it's the top of an old 400 reworked albeit!

Cheers for the reply John, I've got the legs and a pedal board, which looks like its in the same paint work, again..a little beaten up. I think ..if it did have rods, no-one would've known what they were or that they belonged to this. I just looked underneath... i know, i maybe should've done before now..haha. But it does appear to have working which would point to it having rods, leading to 4 pedals.
Hopefully the photo comes up with this.
Cheers again, sorry, it took me a while to find my question i posted....hahaha
