Don't weld the bumper on bolt it with grade six bolts. Seen too many accidents I was called out on with welded rear bumpers that took out the driver. The frame bends under the cab and you get a blown out back. Much better to have it shear and crush vs transmitting the energy to your cab. Been there myself... hit 40mph at a dead stop but was rolling into the clutch for take off at the light. I was young and lucky the bumper was bolted on that truck. Sheared every bolt on the frame brackets. Saved my ass for sure.
The worst ones are welded trailer hitches. They leave on a stretcher most times.
Not welding bumper on.
Welding the brackets back together and gusseted.
It's all bolted together with factory bolts.
Ive worked on a couple cars in my day.
