Finally have one side of the frame outside holes filled and ground smooth. Notice the front leaf hanger now has 6 holes (1985 hanger) vrs the 4 holes (1967 hanger). If you look close you can see a bolt on the top of the crossmember by the front leaf hanger. I am in the process of removing all the rivets on that piece and drilling out to 3/8 replacing with grade 8 bolts so I can fill the back side of the holes on the frame (of course that crossmember is right in the way, I dont have to take off the top piece just the bottom)

Nice work. I like the idea of the extra bolts for support.
