If you look down the frame rails you'll notice they resemble a crude
looking letter C, with an open end on the inside. To box this is you weld a
peice of steel in to enclose the rail making is a solid peice adding
strength. Most box 'em in to run all the brake lines and wiring through to
add to the smooooth look most go for now a days. Probably doesn't warrant
doing this with the 350/350 combo, unless that 350 gonna put out some huge
horse power.
