Does anyone have an opinion on frame boxing? I am planning to put a 350 cid v8 in my 1934 1/2 ton and am wondering if boxing is necessary. The cross members are riveted to the frame rails currently and I was thinking that maybe welding them in would be enough? If I do box, I would do the whole length not just sections. I also understand that the frame needs to be able to flex a bit and this would limit that function. I also have a problem with too much modification as I would like to keep the truck fairly original. Any ideas would be appreciated.
