Text Formating or Modifying

Hi Experts,

I have a text exactly like below in a file:
id item_id
item_date prin_mkt_val
--------------------------- ---------------------------
------------------------------- ------------------------
000448302 0000
May 31 2005 12:00AM 14,085,536

But I want the output as shown below:

id item_id item_date prin_mkt_val
000448302 0000 May 31 2005 12:00AM 14,085,536


Please help me in this using sed or awk or any.
