Torque Boxes vs. Frame Connectors

Frame connectors? Welded in,please... Some simple box tubing notched, works nicely......

I have seen some frame connectors that simply attach to the front and back frames. And then I've seen others that are tied to the floor along the way. I've thought that the first style would still allow the frame to twist. (I've owned a number of B-bodies that showed quarter panel damage from that twisting effect)

Before starting this thread, I did not realize that there was a forward 'thrust' that the torque boxes were designed to combat. Every day I find out that there is so much more out there that I hadn't fully understood.
