    Arc brinneling I think it is called? Like making sure you are grounded directly to metal when welding rather than having current run through bearings.

    It may pay to replace all wheel bearings as a precaution. Not terribly expensive for peace of mind.

    Old mechanical trucks and engines could take a hit and keep on ticking.

    Who knows how the juice travelled through the truck either. Could have went down the driveline and arc'd the u-joints and the bearings in the transmission/diffs.
