I have a parts ramcharger that will have all the body mounts/brackets required. I plan boxing the frame and rebuilding the cross members out of tubing and then weld them to both walls of the boxed frame. The parent truck is a 74 power wagon 4x4. I am also going to swap in a 12v cummins and driveline. She will be a tow vehicle and a get away camping vehilce as well. I have the service manuals for both vehicles. I have heard "Z"ing the frame as well for the same reason. More welded area. No passengers in the back. that is the unofficial "sleeping" area.

Is it possible to get 2 long sections of angle iron, place them as a "v" build a supporting structure and place the pinch welds in them. That way I can slide the bodies together and square em up as needed. I dont have a chassis table to place them on. :(
