Torn Frame and Sway Bar

[Bearhawg]

So, I was just about to hit the "submit order" for a new front sway bar and thought I'd check out the mounting location for any surprises. Surprise! I found this tear in the frame just ahead of an existing hole indicated by the arrow. I planned on installing a Hotchis Sport Suspension bar which requires removal of the front cross-member mounting rivet for the rear of the mounting bracket. I think the existing hole in the frame is where the front of the bracket mounts. Does anyone have a Hotchis front sway bar that could look at their setup? I don’t have a way to heat and bent the frame so I'd rather not buy something I can’t use. This is a 70 c10 custom swb.

Thanks!
