BTW --- Welcome to the world of high horsepower and big sticky tires... on 42 year old metal. The too high of heat caused "carbonization" of the base metal... in other words - it became brittle.....
It's really not uncommon nor is it a "big deal" now that you've discovered it. Just make sure you go to a REAL chassis shop that knows how to weld stuff correctly. Lots of people can stick two pieces of metal together -- but that ain't all there is to welding.
