have a 96 rd log truck with loader on back end of frame , frame is shot around the trunion and spreadind along its whole length, my question is should i bite the bullet and re frame it or i had an idea that we have done in the past for fish plating, we use 3/4 inch t1 steel plare and plate the area around the trunion, but what if i had a peice cut 24 feet long and had a friend cut all the necessary holes with laser and plate both sides of the truck from cab back??? will it be to stiff? whats the negatives?? thanks
