No hate here, but no I wouldn't try it. Axle shafts are very specially heat treated which welding negates. I really like to keep it in my own lane, a powerful car turns very fast when an axle snaps under full throttle. Other folks lives are at risk too you know. Cbody and truck axles can be cut and re-splined to Abody length without tossing a very questionable variable into the equation. Aftermarket axles are cheap too and even stronger than factory.
