I doubt that you'd need to add the strengthening plates. On the 8 cwts Ford cut the frame rails at an angle and butt welded them together and that was it. How much rough use will a restored gun tractor get anyway?
I'd groove the crack a bit with an angle grinder then weld it with enough heat to get good penetration then grind it smooth. Do the same on the other side and keep going. Plates welded on will detract from the restoration in my opinion. Personally I'd get a 15 cwt frame and stamp your serial # on it and forget the welding.
