Frame cross members
Anyone happen to know the thickness of the stock cross members? When changing my gas tank straps this weekend I managed to pull one strap right through the front cross member. I'm going to be ordering new steel to build a new cross member but I forgot to take measurements of the thickness and width between the frame rails.
Anyone happen to have it or happen to have their bed off to take a quick measurement for me?

That sounds like it will work. From a strength standpoint you might want to just add some tabs from angle or flat bar or something to attach the straps to. The less you alter the square cross section the stronger it will be, of course I think no matter what you do it will be stronger than stock.
