Wow, yeah, it sounds like that truck did see a LOT of abuse. A place where I worked as a mechanic (more of a mechanic's apprentice) in high school and college used to take in full-floating axle housings that customers would bring in with cracked or broken off spindles from time to time. The machine shop would weld the spindles back on and machine the repaired areas back to factory dimensions. These came off a variety of trucks, 1-ton and larger.
