Any can be rebuilt to their former glory, just take your time.
Don't worry about rivets unless you plan to show the truck. Take it apart and reassemble using grade 8 bolts. A MUST - the bolts have to fit snug in the hole. The tighter the better. Drill two bolt holes on each end of cross member before taking all the rivets out. This will ensure alignement when you reassemble by bolting the two bolts, then drilling out remain holes. Use a lock washer and self locking nut on each bolt during reassembly or a castle nut. Drill through bolt after tightening the nut for a carter key
