Another day another issue, front upper shock mount

I had so time today to work on my front end replacement and ran into another potential issue.

On my 69 c20 the upper shock mount hole in the frame isn't round. I would have to guess the stud was loose at some time and beat out the hole.

So is it suspose to be round or oval shaped and does anyone have a picture of what is a propper mounting hole should look like?

Should be round. I don't have a picture handy but my truck did that and I just welded a thick flat washer on it to fix it. Its been fine for years now

Good idea, but how did you deal with the angle in the frame?

I was considering welding up the upper part of the hole.
