If the frame is straight and there's no sign of cracking at the weld, I'd assume that the repair was done correctly and leave it alone.

After all, it's had 60 or 70 years to fail and it hasn't. The truck isn't going to be hauling heavy loads or driving on mud tracks anymore. It's going to have an easy life.

Put the truck back together and just monitor the repair.
