On the artec full width trusses you physically can't weld it to the cast because it is gapped off the top of the pumpkin. Its that way so u can tilt the truss depending on your pinion angle.

Welding steel to the casting takes some specialized welding as well. You can't just MIG it as it will only crack along the weld. It can be done but not by the average hobby welder.
