The picture is drivers rear. I haven’t taken the other side loose yet and they do look like they are cast but I’m not sure which kind. They have the original rivets so I will have to grind those down and punch them out and probably go back with grade 8 bolts. This may be best left to a machine shop after I get them off. This poor truck was abused, pretty badly as a west Texas farm truck converted into a wrecker. The saving grace of West Texas is it’s lack of major rust.

If you are missing one component, you'll need an abundance of the others two.
