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?
