Though I haven't yet organized all my material on the '91 Chevy 1500 restoration I'm working on, I decided to post a little project I did to reinforce the body mount points on the frame of our '96 frame, which was acquired to replace the incredibly rusty '91 frame that was original to the truck. I bought large diameter washers from McMaster Carr and machined the inside profile to match that of the body mount. They came out great! I only needed one, and a racer friend of mine came and welded it in for me. Since he's a professional welder, he did a much better job than I could have.
