Brad:

    Before you start it is recommended that you do the job on a level floor
with the tires on and properly inflated.  Take measurements of the distances
between the door frames, top & bottom, the distance between A posts and B
posts.  Once you have the measurements, spotweld two angle iron braces the top
of the A post to the bottom of the B post and from top of the B post to the
bottom of the A post. (on both door frames where the bead channel is located .
Spot weld two braces in the form of an X across the topside from A post to B
post and vice versa.  Measure again.  Do one side at a time because the the
floor and rocker panels provide most of the rigidity of the vehicle.  Hope
this helps..
