I now have two complete frames for an F-1 pickup which means I have some extra steel to play with. What I would like to do is cut the frame in the front, and weld it back together with the front section placed on top of the cab section. The frame is 6" deep so this would be a 6" z in the front.

My question is what would be the strongest way to weld this up? If I just welded both sides, and then put a boxing plate over the whole thing and welded it up on the back would that be sufficient?

Could I do the same thing on the back with an extra length of frame rail between the top and bottom to give me a 12" drop?



Thanks CHAZ
