First off, Chris is correct in his statement about needing to fill the hole, i.e. Rivet, the idea is to stop ANY movement.  That's why the rivet as such a pain to remove.

The guy that did the back half frame swap on Ranger-Forums.com, see link above postings, he used bolts then reenforced with1/4" Plate.

The Ford Channel Frames move a lot more that people think, the slight movement will cause the problem.


Any how, good luck on the project, do it the best you can with what you have, that is all you can do !

The link I am talking about, the guy did a Extended Cab with a long bed, at first I didn't see it then it popped at me.

Looks good !
