I don't know those year trucks that well. But if you are looking to maintain stock, do your cuts in such a way that it can be patched well. Your best bet is to fab new cages and nuts if some are not available. That means your access hole needs to be big enough to get a welder in there to weld the new cages in.

Kicking self for selling off my Taskforce trucks.
Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.
