I am not here to argue, but it is not the same thing, and, as has been pinted out, zero flex is NOT the goal in a long, structural member. The flex is designed in. I am sorry that you can't see that.

Apologies to the OP for taking up his thread.
I'm not arguing, I understand what the flex is for. I used to modify big truck frames, add stingers, axles and what not when I was welding for a tank company. It was my own opinion that it should be boxed, only in certain sections though.

Either way, I hope to see it again. It has gone to get it's new high cube van body built and installed. If I do see it again I'll get another picture. Normally we install the bodies also but this one has gone to the company that builds them for installation.

OK, you going to box it? J/K. Can you post some pics of they type of box you are putting on the back. Weblinks, pics, sketches or even an etch-a-sketch? You can't make us wait too long now. Im not the only one curious to see.
