Hi guys. Yes, there will be a small C notch for the rack and I know Mike planned to weld a bar across the frame rails before removing the factory crossmember.

I'm trying to remember but I THINK the '57 truck that is in his shop now (I posted photos of above) has NOT been fully boxed in front. I also know that truck has the same 6.0 LQ4 my truck will have but is twin turbo'd with the intent to make 1000hp - crazy to me. What I don't know is if it's "finished" in front or if he still intends to box the rails fully. I'll look into it as soon as I get home. Thanks guys!
