The original GMC frame has a stamp in it. They appear to be pretty much the same. Neither frame has a plate behind the steering box, I am going to put one in on both to give them some strength. y dad is trying to talk me into boxing the frame but I don't know if I want to put all that money and time into it. I'll know more once I get them both straight and side by side. Thanks for the feedback.

You seem to know your stuff, my 2 cents.... I would not box the frame until you are happy with how your motor and headers are positioned. Gets tight in these frames if you upgrade the motor.

Looking forward to your build.
