couple frame issues - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I started tearing everything down to install my Dropmember and noticed a few abnormalities. What do you think I should do?

First it looks like someone has welded the crossmember to the frame. Not a promlem, I can cut it off and clean it up. It looks like there is a large bump/dent in the frame just in front of the crossmember. Is that normal?

Next the front crossmember that holds the brake prop valve has cracked and been tacked back together. Should I replace it with a new one or build one out of 4130 tube?
