The older truck frames were mild steel, so nothing wrong with welding them and I had flatbeds with beds welded to the frame.
In last years Ford claims to use heat-treated frames, what saved 350 lb on truck weight, but welding them will soften the metal and the pictures MIGHT show consequences.
I am still skeptic about the whole thing. How-come situation who evidently happen several years ago, is pooping up videos in last weeks?
Why no official reports? I think Ford would like to know about it?
The linked facebook page with more explanation comes blank on me.
