I went back and looked at the pictures and then recalled how big of a job it really was to patch the frame after removing the crossmember. I removed the complete crossmember where it was riveted to the frame rails. Then I plated the insides and also the bottom opening for the springs. The new crossmember is notched so it’s welded inside the rails and underneath like you mentioned. It was the new plates that strengthened what was left of the frame and gave me a good surface for attaching the cross rail for the motor mounts
