That's stamped steel, not cast, right?
Why not cut it back apart, through the weld, then re-weld it correctly, and reinforce/gusset it while your'e there?
If you're going to remove it from the frame anyway, unless you're going to re-rivet it, it won't be "concours correct," so you could weld a half-round of tubing to the back of it, and we'd the ends of the tubing to the bottom side of the frame rail, and make it really strong. (I'll be doing that on my '62 K10 frame...)
