Do body/frame shops ever replace frame rails in full frame vehicles to repair collision damage on one side? I know i have seem on large class 8 trucks stickers saying "do not weld the frame".
More specifically, i have i S10 with a tweaked frame rail, and a donor truck with a good frame rail. Is it possible (or prudent) the cut the good frame rail off the donor and put it in place of the bent frame rail on the other truck. (obviously, a professional welder).
Is this ever done?
