Since you’re going to under there with a welder, don’t discount boxing the frame in that area. It adds a ton of strength and is fairly easy if everything is out of the way. If you’ve any questions on doing that just google “boxing a 32 ford frame”. Lots of examples and different ways. Also look at how they do the crossmember. I’m sure the frame on your truck is at least as stiff as 32 rails, and there’s lots of 32’s out there with fat tires and a Hemi.
