My 1946 Chevy 2 ton truck's frame has an approximate 24" section welded in right behind the crossmember that holds the emergency brake linkage. It seems to have been a relatively professional job. They bolted on 1/2" steel plates then welded them in place. The plates are about 5-6 feet long and around 12" wide. I'm just trying to figure out why it was done. Was it lengthened to fit thier needs or what? I can see no evidence of the frame being warped or twisted.
The frame sections which were welded in match perfectly on both ends.
So any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks, Frank
