I don't have any more pic's as of yet and squeezing spare time out of the welders isn't easy lately but my pipe is now attached to the front half and it went good. The front pipe is actually a little further back than the pic's show after test fitting in the truck. The welding rod is UTP FN 85 cast rod in 1/8" diameter. He used an air hammer on a low setting and peened the weld while it was still hot. He was suprised at how stable the old iron was. Still have to attach the flange and the other blockoff plate. Another update later.
