Re: Lied and defrauded on 1971 c10 short bed

The weld quality does not look that bad in the pictures, grind the weld flat and finish where is in incomplete then put a diamond shaped reinforcement plate and weld it in. This is how big rigs are done and I don't think anyone would disagree big rig haul much more weight than a SWB 1/2 ton. Just chaulk it up to experience, with the frame reinforced the truck is worth the money and could be sold without a major loss.
