K-frames on Mopar
Has anyone welded up the seams on the k-frame ( just spot welds now)? Do you think it's necessary?

Weld reinforcement around the LCA shaft boss for sure. Steering box mount needs some help too.

Never had a problem with a stock one EXCEPT in early 70's when I acid dipped them (Bad Idea)

Mike, if you put a notch in it for oil pan removal, as per rule book, make sure to off-set it 2" to the right.

Re: K-frames on Mopar
It certainly can't hurt. In addition to frame connectors and roll bars/cages, I've heard of cases where people have also welded the body & frame seams on Mopars, all in an effort to minimize any bit of potential flex in the uni-body chassis.

With all the welding that is needed, it would be necessary to tie the "K" member down to steel plate to keep it from looking like a corn chip after welding. To reduce some stress from welding, peen it with a numatic chipping hammer. Let it cool before removing.
