Unhappy Cracked frame?? Pics inside

1995 F150 4x4 302ci. I assume that this is a crack. Hard to tell with the crossmember right there and can't see the other side because other the shock/spring tower and the plastic inner fender. This is just ahead of the front most rivet (engine crossmember) on the right hand side. Anyone with a 92-96 F150 confirm or deny that this is a crack?

Grind the area shiny, then weld a bead over, and under the crack. Prime and paint and don't think about it for 10 years.

I suspect it would look a lot worse if the plow push plate wasn't holding the 2 sections together. Yes.....I know that is why it is cracked. The bumper on that side of the truck is about 1.5" lower than the other side now.

I cant see the pictures--I just see red Xs.

But I remember a thread on this site that side that these vintage Fords have been known to crack just to the rear of the shock tower on the passengers side of the truck--is that where the crack is in these pictures that I cant see??
