j hancock Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Vlad is doing some and he can explain more.Here is a link to what he is up to.http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/29254-frame-is-ready/page-1?hl=rivitingIt is sure the most correct way to do the restoration.Things that I have worked on go back together with flange bolts.

Maddog13407 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 yup flange bolts or step up bolts. make sure you spend the extra money and get the exact size drill bit for the step up bolt. the old timers use to replace the 5/8ths rivets with 3/4 bolts when reinstalling the cab mount crossmember, I have seen this done also not really much benefit to it tho.

chief doug Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 body bound bolts, use a reamer to drill final size so the bolts have to be hammered in 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35032-b61-chassis-rivets/#findComment-238190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I also had to do some drilling to line up the holes for the rivets.That all was the story though...
