around as many as you find . . . it was already my frame from 1 i cut up that the cab got so bad it was 3-4 inches up the A B C pillers with rusted out metal . the cab was cone . so i kept the frame . but then i still had a bad spot in the left side frame rail i had to think of my cut lines to remove the most bad spot . when i was done i had a 45* slant cut on the rails and got 98% of the bad out .

and fyi for anyone searching . crew cab frame cut down to std cab frame is 33inches out of the middle under the cab floor .
