If you look at 4.20 in this vid you can see the need to keep the body and frame separate.

Hmm video unavailable for me (no option to watch on YT)
Searched his account on YT and can't even see it listed there either. Is it an unlisted video?

Presumably between existing original chassis rails and the channel section that runs the length of the bed on top of the existing.
