Rivets or bolts?
While I have the rear half of my pickup down to the bare frame, should I go ahead and grind off the rivets, and replace them all with grade 8 bolts? Is there anything to be gained in chassis stiffness? What are the pros and cons?
pros 1. Able to paint under/between the cross members and frame. 2. Chassis stiffness (?) cons 1. That's a buncha rivets (~100). Any others?
