I'll have to adapt a steering box to the 59 frame ahead of the crossmember and narrow things a little if i do it that way, so doing a a frame clip might be a better choice. I think the track width is a little too much unless a slice is taken out of the crossmember. That will mess up motor mount spacing, unless the center of the X-member is left "as is" and a small slice is removed from both sides outboard of the mounts.
