Mobileortho Dont you have any pipefitter neighbors? Seriously those are critical welds on your truck need to be sure they are there for keeps. The frames are made of A36 frame steel that is stretchy,its why our trucks flex like they do. All welds to the frame should be made with 7018 low-hydrogen welding rod. As for cost I think your right that is high,on the other hand there is liability !
