k-member reinforcement

This is timely information for me with lots of good advice, hot tanking, sand blasting, double checking steering box before welding the supports in there.

Mine was originally a slant 6 k-member. It now has the Schumacher , mounts and a 5.9 Magnum.

Is there any way any way to check it for straightness prior to welding? Not sure how you could ever bend it back one way or the other anyway.

To check for square, measure between opposite corners and they should be the same for square. If they are very far off, the k-member is tweaked.
