A flexible assembly line includes a common welding station having a first set of tooling adapted to engage and support a first type of vehicle frame and a second set of tooling adapted to engage and support a second type of vehicle frame. The first set of tooling is provided on a first side of a rotatable unit and the second set of tooling is provided on a second side of the rotatable unit such that the rotatable unit is rotatable to present either the first set of tooling or the second set of tooling for a welding operation. The flexible assembly includes a first dedicated welding station having dedicated tooling particularly adapted to engage and support only the first type of vehicle frame. The flexible assembly includes a second dedicated welding station having dedicated tooling particularly adapted to engage and support only the second type of vehicle frame.
