Re: 1949 Chevy with S10 swap. Beginner build with ambition!
I would suggest not trying to weld through/over anything except clean metal! Primer and paint after you weld! I that I went 2.5" over my frame rails in the back & 2.25" in the front, but my '53 sits pretty low!
Here's a couple of images for reference for building your frame mounts:
The first photo came from the work of GRIMSS and jeffs51chevy here on the board. The second one is what I made for my truck.
