My question is : Is it a NO NO to drill the flanges of the frame? I know it is not recommended on modern hardened frames, but I was wondering if it was taboo on these as well. And while I'm asking I just want to confirm drilling the web is OK on the frame.
Thanks in advance for your time. I couldn't do it with out without all the knowledgeable support here.

If a person has to do that they should find one that someone has already messed up and use that.
Why? Because we don't even have the luxury of a chinese built frame, when all the good ones are gone.
Kicking self for selling off my Taskforce trucks.
Still looking for an LCF or conventional big bolt in decent shape.
As of 10-26-2022, A 55.2 Taskforce long bed now the work begins
