    Yes, as has been pointed out, anything like that will be a WoF failure.
    It would need a registered/certified engineers and/or structural repairers certificate to say its OK.

    Would be far easier to cut off and get the steps altered so the are bolt on.
    Ironically using brackets that would be welded to the running boards most likely.!

    It's about the welding to the chassis, not the construction of the running boards

    I know of quite a few heavy trailers whos brackets for the wheel arch covers are welded onto chassis ..mudguards,thats the term I was looking for..and they fly through a COF...arguably harder than a WOF....

    Yup but if it was factory or certified it's fine.
    Back in the day I was a good enough welder to do a little of that stuff (with caveats I wont go into here). We wouldnt do anything without engineers support.
    That included putting bigger hinge pivots on for tubs (something like 2" diameter with applicable new bosses of over original 1-3/4"). Something like that, plus back chassis frames for ringfeder etc.
    Again always with engineers support and from memory laminated chassis were another thing altgether

    Plus the welds crack and get welded again and again. Still pass thru COF.
