botched bed cut

the po of the truck i bought mentioned to me that it was a long bed originally that had been cut down to short bed, and a short box put on it. so naturally when i drove from vegas to la...... i forgot to check it out. until now. long story short. they made a vertical cut in the frame combined the pieces and rewelded. thats it. no reinforcement on the outerframe side. but on the inside they "reinforced" it with a thin piece of steel that is runnin along the frame edges. it doesnt even touch where the weld was. it pretty much made a box tube frame in that area. get it? i tried to snap some shots but i couldnt get under there and was in a rush. ill throw em up anyway. but what the hell do i do with that. just reinforce the hell out of it??
