Default Frame Mods?

Is there a good diagram of reinforcements that can be welded on to strengthen the frame without interfering with anything else?

The Chevy Power book or something like that has a bunch of useful diagrams. I used to have a PDF file of it that I was going to e-mail you, but I can't find it.

Would you want to part with one of the extra manuals (if you still have them)? I may wind up building the widebody if I don't sell it.
