Please, help me with advice...

Ok, had truck in the shop for a few months, for welding gearbox back to the frame.
Also, found out that the shop owner has a ‘76 like mine.

Long stony short, need advice/opinions. I don’t know how to link photos, so if you’d please go to www.photobucket.com
my user name is, c10fan_
As always thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it.

So, three quick questions,

1. Does this look like some sort of sabotage to my frame or a trans swap?

2. Do the u-joints look to be new/changed?

3. How do I reconnect the driver’s tank, currently hose is cut off with bolt in it.
