Got a 79 CJ7 tore down and frame sand blasted. Now to repair. The body mount holes are a little large.What size hole is supposed to be in there? The rear of the frame for about 6 inches is bad. Thought about using box channel or C channel. Any Ideas? I have a new valence already.

Sorry I have been lucky enough to not have to repair my frame. I believe the holes for the body mounts are 3/4" though

I do believe that advance frameworks and 4wd, sell just the body mounts to re-weld back on the frame.

I might have some old ones that are in good shape that I took off a frame that i junked will have to look
best ever 11.669 @ 112.33 mph in 1/4 mile on 33 x 10.50 slicks and 4" lift / 7.358 @ 93.03 mph in the 1/8 mile
Thanks. I looked at replacing the whole mount but that was more work than just welding a new piece(100$) over the damaged area. Plus trying to realign the center and the height.

this is what i did on my cj5 frame...
everywhere i looked it said 1-1/4" hole. i bought some large and thick washers from t bolt supply house and used a hole saw to "install" them
I don't want to question your idea, but..........
So how are you holding that in?
That has to hold your body to the frame, so remember to make it very strong.

that photo was used to illustrate the idea... i am finished now.. i used a miller 110 to weld the washer into the frame on both sides.not going to have any problem coming apart i can guaranty you that, i am willing to bet that you could pick up the jeep from any of the mounts i replaced.
i dont have a pic of them welded in but i can take one.. did you think that this was the finished product?

i like that... jb weld... it's funny cause i am sure someone has done it!
it has to be at least as strong as stock and 100 times stronger than the rusted holes that used to hold the body on
