I noticed while inspecting the frame that the leaf spring mounts are reinforced with some riveted L shaped plate........is this considered the heavy half or something else?

also, it appears when I finally get around to shortening the frame to switch to a shortbed setup I will have to remove the lower rivet farthest back on the frame to relocate the crossmember....am I seeing that correctly?

I have a 77 heavy half that has them extra brackets. I think all the heavy leaf pack trucks got them. I did swap them onto my 74 short bed as well from another truck I have for parts
