That's real common on these lol. My 95 and my 88 did that. I just rewelded it and added a small piece of steel to give it more beef.

I did just that! Probably about 20 lbs of wire on my new welds too...Added 1/4 inch plate steel reinforcements!

I just gotta adjust the door a little. The bottom needs more shims because it needs to come up a little. The best part about this is that my door shuts really tigt now!
