Repairing my floor support rail
After I repaired my rusted out floor, I noticed my floor support rail was cracked, right by the front cab mount.
I've come up with a plan to fix it, and wanted to see what the collective knowledge of dodgeforum thought of it. My plan is to weld a piece of angle iron to the cab mount, and run the support rail over it, as shown. Is the only weight it needs to hold the weight from my feet on the floor, or does this rail actually see more stress than that? It didn't look very thick to start with.
Looks solid, or looks sketchy?
