frame mods on toy truck
anytime you have a longitudinal (horizontal)frame member(truck,trailer,etc)NEVER,NEVER,NEVER,NEVER weld vertical across it.When you welded those cage patches across the frame,you welded the ends,vertically across the web of the frame,weakening it by causing the 'notch' effect..frame metallurgy has changed by weld heat.you also welded the ends of those cage mounts,and the welding has caused compressive stress in the frame under the patch.you should have just welded patches on the frame,with a bead of weld on the top edge and the bottom edge only,leaving the ends unwelded,and free to expand under weld heat.most manufacturers will rivit spring mounts and such to the frames so as not to cause these stresses..good luck w/it

Ron, I'm not sure what that image is suppose to illustrate, is that looking at the side of the frame? What is the deal with the circle in the middle?
Stomper, at work on frames, at the front where we weld on tubing to angle in towards the hitch, we use a plate similiar to what you posted, and use it on both sides, only it is a lot longer, I would say a good 8"s of horizontal weld on either side of the splice

although, the way he did the plates is somewhat standard too. better then square ends atleast.
there are many schools of thought on this.... more then members on this board  ). either way, atleast this is a trail rig, not a highway rig.
