'60 Shock Mount - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

60 front lower shock mount is wallowed out. I was thinking I would get a 5/8 headed drill bushing from McMasters or Graingers drill the hole in the control arm out to an even 3/4. Install the drill bushing from inside the control arm and weld a little around the head then cut the bushing off level with the control arm on the shock side. Will the Rockwell 62 hardened drill bushing weld Ok? Is this plan overkill? What has anybody else done?
