Sorry to bring up the old controversy of welding on frames...but to add a little more info, besides the truck's, or Govt's, limitations, there are motor vehicles rules in some places. Here in NH there are rules about welding on certain vehicle frames, but there is so much double talk in the rules that most inspection stations just refuse to inspect ANY vehicle with a welded frame. This even includes light trucks with such things as a hitch or bumper brackets welded on, or a rust repair. There are different interpretations of our laws, but I just want to suggest that before actually welding to the frame, check your state laws first.
This is coming from someone licensed to do NH inspections.
