Structural repair and "call a pro" guidance for this region
Rebuilt/reconstructed inspections mostly focus on VIN plus parts receipts; Nebraska uses a county sheriff, and North Dakota requires an independent shop to certify frame and alignment.
Frame and load-bearing welds belong with a professional. Have structural work done or
inspected by a qualified welder before you present the vehicle for titling.
Keep parts receipts; in ND, expect an independent shop to certify your frame.

Titling, inspection, and repair rules for converted buses vary by state and change often, and this page is general information, not legal or engineering advice. Structural rust, frame, and welding repairs affect the safety of a vehicle you and others will ride in - confirm current requirements directly with your state DMV/DOT, and for any frame or load-bearing repair, have the work done or inspected by a qualified professional welder or shop before you drive or title the vehicle.
