It looks like the corner joints in this case wouldn't make this very easy, but you could also consider using a few bolts to attach each side rail assembly to the central frame, so that you can remove an entire drive side, without needing clearance out the top or bottom, by just removing those few bolts. Maneuvering the gearbox with its output shaft out the guts either upwards or downwards can be difficult, so it can be easier to leave everything intact until you have it in open air to work on.
Edit: I just noticed with the belly pan coming under this time around, this would be even less feasible
But maybe if the side rail stands alone as its own rigid box...
