Front shock stud repair help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got a 72 1/2 ton 2wd and the one upper shock stud must of been loose for quite sometime. It has rounded out the mounting hole in the frame to the point where i could just pull it out. I was planning on welding a washer or something to repair the frame and replacing the stud. Is that a good idea and is there any place that sells the upper front shock studs?

Thanks
Tim
