Frame section piece? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So do they sell a frame piece for the 73-87 truck frames? I don't know what they are called but and my searches have been unsuccessful. I know they sell like 5" sections of frame pieces that fit inside our frames for reinforcement or whatever reason. Am I crazy or do you know what I am talking about?
Thanks, Joe

Do you mean a boxing plate?

I know ECE sells them for the 63-72 frames, but unsure for the square bodies. You may just have to make one.

Boxing plate is probably it. I know I've seen them for the 67-72 trucks, as porterbuilt stated. My back-up was to make one since I will be modifying it anyway to make a quick release trans crossmember. Thanks guys

(I can't wait to save money for a porterbuilt crossmember)
