I will say that I would have answered you differently had you stated what your intentions were. Since you aren't just cutting a 73-87 from SWB to LWB none of the articles in FAQ will give you the dimensions you need. What it will show you is the preferred method of cutting and splicing a frame.

Some feel a straight cut or angle cut is adequate. I personally prefer the additional work area created by a step notch style splice. That would be further strengthened by a backing plate that is plug welded through holes as well as perimeter welded too.
Good way to put things! I guess that is why you are a moderator!
