In taking a closer look at my frame, I wanted to ask about two of the mounts. The passenger side cab mount is rusted. I feel very sure that the hole came from the factory round. If it did, this thing rusted in almost a perfect oval. Would you guys replace? I think there is plenty of surface for the bushing.

The front radiator support is pulled away from the frame. It doesn't look like the rivet ever had a head on it. It is not jagged like it got ripped off or bent. But, there is space between the mount and the frame. I am going to try and straighten in, but has anyone seen this as a mistake from the factory?

Besides these two things, the frame seems straight with very little rust. Pressure washing it this weekend, so I should get a better look today.
