After another couple of days of laying on my back, measuring more and cutting more, I was able to get two lengths of the 2"x4" steel tubing to slide into the frame rails. I actualy had to narrow the tubing slightly to slip in. This is where I'm at so far. The two new frame rails essentially duplicate a 53 Ford F100 frame in width. Once the frame rails were in, the Dakota crossmember slipped right in. Nothing is welded up yet. I've got to take it apart and clean it up first, but, at least I've gotten this far. At the rate I'm going, it may take a while.
