I took a 1x4 piece of red oak cut to length to fit between the outer flange, then cut 2 grooves across the face in the locations of the inner webs. In so doing, I held each channel open as well as maintained the overall width.......

Very nice. I bet that feels good! Not only completing the repair, but lots of readers are looking for tips or tricks to do similar projects to similar trucks and the pictures can really help. Damned if we ain't all in it together!
