Crewella - My '81 crew cab, short bed 1/2 ton

before you put the bed on, I would suggest boxing the cut on the frame, I know you fish-plated the cut, but I have seen too many trucks bent in the middle(cut frames and factory frames). Some extra protection of what you are tying a lot of time,money and love up in ....the insurance of a box at the welded section is cheap insurance. Just one guys opinion.

The inside of the frame is boxed in. See the last photo, that's the inside of the frame. In the second to last photo you can see the outside of the frame and in the upper right hand corner you can see the inside of the other side. Thanks for the input!
