 I have done what Frank is talking about on my Frame rails also.  The bottom
was messed up pretty bad, so I used a spot weld remover and cut out all the
spot welds for the bottom sheet metal and replaced it with new metal.
Worked fine.

The greatest revolutions come not by the discovery of something new. They
happen when someone radically changes or challenges what was always there.

I have seen welded up frame rails from in front of the wide cross member.
There is nothing out there but the bumper and sway bar mounts.
I have cut open the frame rails to beat out dents and welded a new skin on
the bottom.
It is just a sheetmetal box.
