Clarified answer...
The plating you see is bolted to the frame of the truck and welded. The frame doesnt have an issue being welded if you use the correct welder. As with all correct welds it has been grooved and sanded prior to being welded. The ball is a drop in ball with a slide lever. All...
NDT,
It is bolted well under the plate and bolts welded.

Would love to be able to help out anyone in need.
Just FYI...
