Re: Brent's '72 Custom/10 SWB stepside build

99.9% sure you don't need it but let a 2WD guy answer that. Shouldn't matter but that's what mine is on my 4WD frame. I can't tell you 100% that an auto doesn't need it though. You can cut the rivets off and rebolt later if needed. I would suggest cutting every single rivet out of your frame, having it blasted and covering it with something like I did mine. www.nomorerust.com Only used a little over a quart to cover my frame, crossmembers, axles, and leafs.

Tractor Supply sells grade 8 bolts in bulk so it won't cost you much to replace ALL of those rivets. You really need to get all the metal apart with the rust "growing" like that.

My cab is nice from 12" and up. I'm doing a total new floor since I didn't find a decent cab...
