Rear Spring Mounts
I hope someone has advice for me.......I have a 65 longbed and have a DJM lowering kit that includes new spring mounts. The factory mounts are riveted to the frame and I have been trying with my air chisel to get a rivet off but not making progress very fast. Is there a better way to do this? Any advice would be appreciated--my hands still hurt from the hammering!

Bodie, I've found the fastest, easiest way is to grind the heads off the rivets with an angle grinder and then drill out the centers. This took me less than 10 minutes a side. Hope it helps a bit. 
The angle grinder I borrowed worked GREAT! Thanx Guys.......
