Where do the frames crack (generally speaking). One thing I'm considering is taking the entire GM frame center (under the cab) and welding it to the outside of the Dodge frame. I would think the dodge frames would crack around the leaf spring mounts, engine mounts, front spring cup mounts, and control arm if anywhere. Sound about right?
