Can we weld crossmembers?
I had to replace the last two crossmembers in my 67 3/4 ton frame because of rust issues. I used 7/16 fine thread bolts to replace the rivets. I was thinking of also welding them in but I am not sure if I should since they were not welded from the factory. Does anyone know if it is acceptable to do?

I would just double nut the bolt then tack the end of the bolt and nut together.That is the best I could come up with as a homemade type rivet. I would think some twisting and movement however slight would be needed there to allow the truck to flex and ride properly. Jim
