PS---Thanks for the SFI links.
Thats how I had to do my rear x bars where they met the tube that holds the swaybar. Of course it wasnt on purpose though....just where it ended up.

Thats a cool cage Dave. I had something similar in my 69 stepside...wish I had pictures of the cage. Did the x brace through the back of the cab as well. The fellas that helped me put it together sugested the extra material would make it stronger. But they were just guessing I'd say...as that was 12 years ago.
