How to repair bed bolt holes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a few bed bolt holes that are rounded out. Do they make something i could weld in to repair the hole? Can I use washers with a square hole for the bolt and weld that to the bed. I think that might work. Any ideas. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. That is the only way I could think of to repair the holes. Does anyone know where I can find round washers with square holes in them. I know step sides have them but they have an offset hole.
