my original frame was cracked as well only more than yours... apparently some high school idiot drove it for a cupple of years real hard (oops that was me) we just welded it up and added some boxing plates in the area and so far so good! i don't think there should be any worries if you add some boxing plates. you shouldn't have to box the whole frame we only did around a foot or so near the front cab mounts...
