I have a 71 K5 Blazer that I would like to drive again.One of the many issues needing attention is the drivers side front spring hanger bolt hole being wallowed out. I've been looking for a replacement hanger but not having any success. Can someone lead me to a possible source of supply? If I can't find one soon I thought about drilling out the rivets, removing the hanger, filling the wallowed out bolt hole with weld and drilling a new bolt hole. never done it but desire can cause solutions to happen. What would be some other possible remedies? thanks.
