That looks great. Making it a unibody was considered and is not entirely off of the table. After much discussion with my buddy Jim, I decided "today's" approach will be to modify the flat edge that faces the back of the cab on the leading edge of the bed. Will cut it and fold it back against the bed side and reweld the cuts. Decided to cut it and fold back a section at a time to keep from wrecking the vertical curve of the bed side. May be able to gain 0.5" or so. I have to make sure the bed does not the cab when the frame is twisted. Should not be nearly the problem it would have been with the unboxed '59 frame since the Envoy frame is fully boxed and very stiff.
