Steering issues in my 68 4x4!

[Butch's 68]

Yep, when we discovered the weld on the steering on that's when the search for a new one started. I don't know who did the welding and it looks back yard by a novice. I weld better than what this looks like and I would't have attempted! I did get a hit on a replacement from Chris who has one so it looks like Dad will keep the axle he has in it.....when he get's tired of it I'll buy it back from him and fix it up the way I would like it.....so unless he decides to upgrade to the open knuckle, and I doubt he will, I think this might fix the issue. I'll keep doing the research on all the steering issues/swap that comes with a newer axle cuz I'll do the swap when I get it. Appreciate all the help! I'll get pics of where he is now and any he took prior to starting and let you all know how it's going!
