....my wreecker bed hinges are welded to the end of the frame[butt welded]....as long as it is at the end and there is nothing behind it-I'd say it's OK....in the middle I say your in for some frame cracking.....BUT....John's Spring Service does it all the time.....shortens and lengthens truck frames while adding an outer "C'' channel to strengthen the the frame.....they do it everyday of the week...If they have had trouble with it I haven't heard about it in the last 7 years......geofkaye
