Re: Frame strength help...

Has anyone compared frames from an early 60s to a modern frame? Granted braces, crossmembers, funky bends and what not, but these frames are thick. Back when they built trucks, I wouldn't hesitate running the frame as is. Now if you do plan on serious off-road, 800+ horses, towing doubles then maybe want to box the frame.
