As for ideas on reinforcing the frame i've seen angle iron welded along the bottom of the box on the areas of interest, don't remember exactly which direction it was going as far as along or across the grooves

As for ideas on reinforcing the frame I didn't reinforce anything. Holds strong and I cut a little over 13 inches on my Longbed. Mike

You can take and cut 4-5 inch piece of the bed bottom and sides and use it underneath the bed and inside the fenders to use as a backing. Makes it much easier to weld up without blowing holes it it as easy. Spot weld it in place about every 5-6 inches.
