Working as a frame tech at a heavy duty truck shop for 15 years now I've seen a lot of these types of damages to rear axle and frames. Just last week one came in almost identical to your pictures. I would caution any settlement to your damage before you take the truck to a reputable frame shop and have the complete truck looked over and a complete estimate for repairs and damages written up. In this case I would recommend that both rear spring packs be replaced with new, if only one side is repaired or replaced the truck may lean to the old spring side when loaded due to use and stress the spring has endured over the years compared to new, and a lean is not good when it comes to any type of dump truck. Second I would have the rear axle checked for being bent and have the frame checked also, believe it or not it does not take much to bend an axle tube with any kind of shock type impact and it appears you have only a single frame in which is the same as the axle, it doesn't take much to put a side sway in frame. The tires and rim would be replaced without question and a complete alignment to finish out complete repair of damage.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
