Great comments Warpath, the only down side I can really think of at this point to welding the box down to the frame is if the truck gets some significant damage from some sort of accident, frame rails go bad, or chassis just plain wears out, then there is no real way of swapping the conversion to a new chassis. For many this may seem far fetched, but for those of us on a budget that can not afford a new chassis to convert, it is conceivable that one may want the option to replace later rather than buy a whole new rig. I do not like the idea of U bolts and a spacer for many reasons, perhaps a series of stout angle brackets bolted or welded to the frame rails, with a bolted connection up to the floor system.
