I've been in the process of converting an autocar tractor to dump truck. Can I weld the hinge plate to the frame? I've built the hinge plate with 3/8 think 5" angle and welded it to inserts that are 8" wide. I can bolt this directly to my frame. I've used existing bolt holes. Can I weld it to the frame? Will DOT bust my balls? Originally the plan was to sub this out to a welder but I ran out of money. Anybody with experience help me out and pictures are greatly appreciated. Thanks
