Default Rusted out Cab mounts

Hey everyone.

I have the cab off my '63 Fenderside, and a couple of the cab mounts look pretty rusted out. I see three options. 1) leave them as is, 2) try to cut the top off and re-weld a new piece of steel and drill the new hole, 3) remove and replace.

I like remove and replace best, but the new ones will use Grade 8 bolts to install instead of original rivets. Will that be tight enough, or is the R/R idea a bad one?
