Frame Hole Measurement Help
I'm in the middle of reworking the frame prior to paint and I need to clean up these two wollared out holes at the end of the frame rails...I believe they are for the bumper brackets. I think the previous owner used a torch to cut the bolts and got a little loosey goosey end enlarged the holes. I plan to just weld them up and redrill but I need the location of hole center.
Can someone take a frame measurement in from the end and from either top or bottom, and measure hole size. Thanks in advance.

Re: Frame Hole Measurement Help
Weld from the outside towards inside then grind flat and drill out to a notch bigger than 1/2 so 1/2 inch bolts can go on to bolt up the bumper bracket. Or at least that is what I would do.

Re: Frame Hole Measurement Help
That's exactly what I did...I welded up the hole from the outside to the center and ground it smooth on both sides. I welded it completely up though since it was so out of round and couldn't even tell where center was.
So now I need measurements for hole centers so i can redrill. Thanks to anyone that can measure their frame.

Re: Frame Hole Measurement Help
Long bed or short? I never had a factory bumper, but I can go look for the measurements on mine if long bed is OK.

Re: Frame Hole Measurement Help
Thanks dfwright! Mine is a short bed frame so maybe that is the difference? Surprised that would make a difference in the rear of the frame.
Anyone with a short bed care to get me measurements? Thanks

Re: Frame Hole Measurement Help
Here's two pics of my SWB 68 frame. Looks like my holes are different than your 71. Bumper bracket is installed so I can't get dimensions.
I say go ahead and paint the frame and drill the holes when you get dimensions. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Phil
