Frame boxing suggestion
Boxing my 56 frame,and looking for suggestions for the 4 box mounting holes.The rest of the frame I used weld on nuts where needed,but thought the box might need some room for adjusting when mounting.
Thanks

Suggestions?....ok....how about just artfully cutting out an oval hole in the boxing plates at the bed mounting bolt locations.... maybe 1" x 1 3/4" ....allowing you to slip a washer, lockwasher , and nut thru it.....maybe radius the edges nicely.

I cut a slot in my boxing plates for access to the bed mounting bolts. Notice that the stock bolts have flat carriage bolt style heads which means all the tightening is from inside the frame rail. I am doing hidden bolts, so I can use hex head on top of the cross members..(and under the boards)

Anyone have any ideas how a ready to use frame from TCI or whoever would use?
Good thing with metal at least is it can be cut welded and smoothed many times to fix boo boos
