You’re probably gonna have to blow those 8 rivets out and make one, it’s two flat plates for the sides and a square bar....1.5”x1.5”x.25” wall I think, been awhile. Use the stock one as a template for the holes on the sides and you should be good.

I have the raised crossmember I'm probably not going to use, since I got a reg cab to lower and raised my xcab back to stock.

it’s not perfect but you get the idea. You are cutting a significant amount of strength out of the middle so 3/16” plate is the minimum that should be used to cover it.

Replacing a tubular cross section member with a flat plate - It's not a solution I'd use.
