I think what Jason means is to cut an acces panel into the side of one of the psuedo frame fails and slide the plate with bolt welded thru it in. Then have the crossmember bolt to that so the new 1/4" plate is a backing plate and the frame is sandwiched between everything. That way you don't have to weld/possibly make the frame weaker so you don't have the crassmember rip the frame in the HAZ area.
