My 48 frame had something stenciled in the same place about not welding, wish I had a good picture of it before sandblasting...

So I am pretty sure that is what it said or something to that effect even though the oldies were no heat treated material. If may have also said something about drilling in the first two feet back of cab as that is where 90% of frames fail. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 5 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 5 | it says"body builder do not drill frame use present holes or ----ers with u-bolt" . thanks for the u bolt tip know only need to know one word please help open to even any guess thanks dave it does look like the last three letters are ers thanks again dave | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 140 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 140 | | | |
