This does help. My original cross sills were too rusted to re-use so I got replacements from Mar-K. The brackets / plates from Mar-K are loose and not crimped on the cross sill so I guess I'll have to weld the plates to the cross sill at the point above the frame. Mar-K suggests welding these plates as an option but don't see how they would not shift over time without either a through-bolt connection or welding.

I guess I will either weld the plate to the 2nd cross sill or perhaps eliminate the plate altogether.
