Default v8-60 tube axle question

Hows it going guys?

I got a v8-60 tube axle the other day and was looking at it, then today me and a few buddys were talking about it and wondering how it was manufactured, i believe it was a forged out of a peice of tubing, with little spacers added where the perch bolts are, the axle i got has a little spacer that was spot welded to the axle but now has fallen off.

anyone know for a fact how they were made?

Oh and they weigh 17.5 pounds, my 33-36 axle weight was 20.5 and the 32 heavy axle weights 23 lbs, so there is a slight weight saving.
