Square Steel Stock on a 3/4 Ton Frame--Why? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Good evening,
I have one that to me appears perplexing. I bought an all original 79 k20 with 25,000 mi from the fire company over the winter. I am just getting around to starting on it. From about where the frame turns up behind the cab to the beginning of the forward most rear spring hanger there appears to be a piece of I dont know 1 1/2" (The thickness of the width of the frame) square stock welded to both sides of the frame. Other than this the frame is mint, no damage, no repairs, no replaced rivets.
Any ideas?
