That's some skilled welding.
We tried that on the L6 Upper Clutch Push Rod on my Stepside, back about 20 years ago, when we rebuilt the current 292. I abandoned the result, but my Machinist had the idea of threading both ends of a same-length steel rod, and screwing Heim Joints on the ends.
LMC has now 'stolen' the idea, but mine was considerably less, made up from available components.
