A good day to the world!
The rear X-member of the 80incher is bent and somewhat rusty. I am toying
with the idea to replace it and would like to know how new ones are fitted
to the box-section frame. Do you have to cut the X-member off left and right
of the box-section frame and then free the box-section frame? The new one
would then be slid over the frame and welded in place. The first picture
shows the line along which the X-member would be cut off in this case.

The second picture shows the line where the X-member would be cut off when
cutting straight through the box-section

I just want to see what is easier, repairing the existing one or putting in
a new one. I tend to the second alternative, because even using a hydraulic
bending gear I think it might be something to straighten the X-member.
Somebody hit a post with the right hand end some decades ago...
