Yes. A rag joint, like rdavid said, would be the easiest, and as good as anything else. I'd help if I could, but I'm booked into next week. Good for me; I need the money. Do you have access to a hot wrench or some other way to whack through that weld? That's where I'd do it. Power steering on that truck would be far more pain than it's worth, I think. After you've driven it is the right time for that kind of judgement, though. Right now I think you have enough on your plate without piling more on.
