Re: 65 c10 frame. HELP

Thanks for all the replies, guys. I'm about to go pick up the frame soon. I've been gathering materials for the build and I've got a simple problem, with a decently simple sounution. I'm building the back half of the frame out of 2"x4" rectangular tubing and plan on using leaf springs. I know that's not ideal like ladder bars or a 4 link but I'm new and want to keep it simple. And cheap because I've got a junk yard full of leafs. But how do I bolt the spring hangers to the tubing without crushing it? Weld a tube into the hole where the bolt goes to keep it from smashing the tubing? And does it need to be welded all the way around or can I just tack it into place?
