79 f250 4x4 chassis mounts/rear shock mount
HI all,
I removed the body off my f250, but my chassis/frame mounts (ie the bracket that mounts to the frame) are quite rusted through. The new bushings would go right through the big rust hole. Plus my rear shock mount that mounts to the frame is rusted through...now two pieces. Anyone know a good place to buy these pieces from or do they need to be fabricated?
Thanks in advance!

I changed my upper shock mounts on my F250 with some old F150 mounts-identical. I forget what size of bolts I used, seems to me I drilled the holes a size up because the rivet hole was oddball size.
You can buzz the rivet head off with a grinder, but still may need to center drill it to relieve the stress. I found it easiest just to drill up to 3/8" I think, then nail it with a hammer and punch and they usually fly right out.
