I agree about the vertical stiffener was planning on that and a mounting for skid shoes each end.
My steel supplier has a drop pile and usually sells something like I want for around $20 bill. I buy most of my box tubing from him by the bundle so the scrap pile is a bargain pile.
94Bullit, Channel would work but I don't think it would be as good as using something deeper which would tie into the moldboard. I suspect getting more of the vee angle in the bracing will be alot stronger putting the reinforcement in compression.
