1968 K10 Frame Question

I was looking at a 68 K10 for sale and was trying to find the frame serial # and I saw this raised area on the frame where I usually find the frame serial #. Is this frame modified or is this supposed to be there?

Re: 1968 K10 Frame Question

Could it be a frame crack repair?

Re: 1968 K10 Frame Question

Looks like a peice of steel welded to the frame to me. Definitely not original. It should be the same shape, height and contour of the surrounding area of the frame. As said above it could be a crack repair

Re: 1968 K10 Frame Question

That's been welded. You can see the bead of a weld if you zoom in on the inner rear section of the mysterious lump.. Sketchy if I do say so myself. Just bought a new frame for my 67 cause my old one was "repaired" by po
