Weld/reshape/retap seems like an awful lot of work. And like you said, cast iron is not easy to anneal. You're getting into professional welding and machinist techniques here. To do it right, you really have to take it to a professional. Probably be a couple hundred dollars any way the guy decides to do it.
If you really need to get the truck moving fast and cheap, you might consider MIG welding the remnants of the yoke and the ujoint back together in place. Clean out the grease from the joint. Heat it all up with a torch then weld it whatever way seems best. Pump grease back in a take it easy on the throttle.
