Between the two, I wonder which would be the most beneficial for stiffening, if I could just pick one? The longitudinals/frame rail channels or chassis stiffening kit?

Do you mean the clam shells VS the in the cabin stiff kit?

Not owning either of the above, the clamshells are more for rust repair then stiffening. The in the cabin kit is where its at - but you HAVE to be careful welding it in or you will twist the chassis.

Mike at Restoration Design actually told me that his #346 clamshell was for stiffening the chassis and not for rust repair. It slips over the stock long. His #340 and #341 were meant for the rust repair.
