60 swb frame mod?? Why?

Wanted to see if anyone had seen this before, I am pretty new to the 60 chev truck so I am not sure why this would have been added. I am thinking at this point it is just extra weight and needs to be removed. Could I get some opinions here. On the drivers side there is a mounting post of some kind mounted to the plate, passanger side just appears to be reinforcment? Just boggles me because these frames are tanks factory built. Thanks

That's pretty skookum
Maybe it was on its way to being some form of offroad setup.
LL overkill to me

I would start cutting welds and going back to original. Chevy didn't have the strongest frames on the market, but for 99% of the market they were good enough.

Looks like my 62 build. I see the rear shock mounts on the floor in the pics. Know where I can find one for the passengerside?
