Scott have you got the dimensions of the frame rail , thickness, height etc
(I am at home but remember that it is just a U section right? . Maybe it is
an off the shelf steel fabrication, available from a supplier. I have access
to any kind of new or used steel. Tell me what it is and I will find out.
would be nice if we could provide them to other GMCers at low cost.
