Suburban rotisserie question

I have the rough body work done on my body shell and the next step is to put it on the rotisserie. I’ve saved three or four pictures of suburbans on a rotisserie and I don’t see much in the way of the cross bracing within the shell. Does anyone have recommendations on welding in cross pieces? I was thinking about putting an X right in the middle of the body.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Paul

Re: Suburban rotisserie question

Thanks again Rick. Your rear hook up was done from the bottom of the body. Is there a reason you did it that way? I've seen a few where they went to the top of the floor. Mine would only hook up that way because of the rear door sill. If I get longer bolts I can add another piece of 2" tube and mount it underneath.
