The parts arrived. I got the spindles welded back on the axle tube and they are as straight as I can make them. Used a straight edge and a micrometer off the straight axle tube A better picture of the bad spindle and the axle bolted back under. Sprayed Corrosion X all over the 2 yr old rusty springs.

You are too generous NYMack. It don't look good but it will work. Destroyer had me worried about penetration so I turned it up. I made two passes with the 7018 rod after tacking the spindle in place. The spindles came in slightly different than what was there. The weldable end had been turned down with a lathe to fit inside the square tubing but the turned down portion was 3/4" longer than original so instead of just placing the spindle into the square tube until it stopped at the part of the spindle that wasn't cut down (like a flange) I had to pull the spindle out 3/4" on each side and was welding to the part that was turned down. I pinned the spindle into a corner of the axle tube which made the opposite side a sloppy fit so two passes. BTW- boat shoes should never be worn while welding.
