Good evening Stove Bolters!

Anyone ever seen the core support mount holes broken out on the front cross member of a 47-54 Chevy pickup? Both holes on my 49 1/2 ton is, and the other night I was watching a video on YouTube, and a guy was restoring a 49 Chevy pickup and one hole in his front cross member was broken out huge, way worse then mine.

I have owned a lot of these old Chevy's over the years but never had one broke out like this.

I assume it's because the core support was allowed to run lose. Just posting for discussion. I think we are going to weld in some 1/4" plate and re-drill the holes.
