spot welds ... and lots of them .. you have to drill them all .
wash and clean , so you can see them .
be sure to take exact measurements before you start .

hope these help .

cutting the new one off of the donor .. I cut "wide" so I then could work on it off of the truck



you can see some of the old spotwelds



and putting it back together
