not quite sure what your asking but if i think i know what im responding to, then take some 3/8" plate and weld lap it about 9 inches on either side of the joint and weld it up on the tall sides of the frame

It is called fish plating that is the accepted way of re-joining frame sections.
But first grind a 45 degree chamfer on both frame sections and butt weld them together, then only grind flat where the fish plates are going to over-lay the butt weld.
