Abstract
A track shoe adapted for use in an endless track assembly for a track-type vehicle comprises a base having a pair of sidewalls formed integrally thereon. The sidewalls extend away from the base in converging relationship with respect to each other and terminate at edges which may be welded together. The method for making the track shoe comprises the steps of forming a blank to include the base and sidewalls of the track shoe, bending the sidewalls towards each other and then welding them together, if so desired.
