Front Shock Mounts - Big problems

[crawdad]

Can someone tell me, or better yet, show me a picture of how the top of the front shock mounts to the frame rail? Is there a mounting stud or something that sticks out from the frame rail? My nephew (or one of his buddies) did something to butcher the front shock mounts on my truck. They look like they have been welded (very badly) back in, and the driver side has even broken loose so that the shock is able to move slightly in and out on the frame rail. It really scared me when I first saw it, and I know it's got to be dangerous. Is it possible to fix something like this? I wish I had a digital camera to show you guys a pic, but I don't. Comments?
