Default How do people get away with this kind of butchery and not die?

Went to the salvage yard today. There is never anything old at this place and early 90's are usually the limit.

My eyes were drawn to a 77-79 F150 that had been rolled....just because a 40 year old pickup in THIS YARD was a unicorn.

I'll let these pictures speak for themselves but what you're looking at is:

Rear hubs from a 99-02 F250/F350 WELDED to the front 5-lug hubs on the pickup.

Pipe used as coil spring spacers.

Track bar mount welded to the frame (poorly).

Thin wall square tubing as a steering draglink.

Rear u-bolts welded to the spring plate and holding 3 blocks together.
