    To finish this modification, I bolted the frame pieces to the spreader bar, propped the whole assembly in position, and used some Visegrip claw clamps to hold it. I took that height dimension that I wrote down earlier, added 3 3/4 inches, and measured from the floor up to the relocated frame tips. Once everything measured correctly, I welded the frame tips in place. Finally, I let the body back down on the frame and removed the straps.

    The spreader bar now fits up nicely under the rear edge of the body and isn't hanging out in the atmosphere with no purpose. When the welds are ground smooth and everything is painted, this modification will almost disappear..
