can Gd 8 bolt replace crossmember rivet?

I have a 79 Chevy P/U that previous owner had collision in, the front cross member is slightly twisted and popped a rivet on the cab side letting it lift up about 1 inch in the twist...thought about bending it back down and replacing rivet with a grade 8 bolt, will this work or does it have to be welded? thanks, bob
