hey guys if i were wanting to change my gas tank cross member on my 96 dodge 2500 is there any shops that would still rivit it back in. I know theres bolts but i feel more safe with rivits bolts tend to loosen and waller out the hole and you got to keep checking on them. And has anyone used huck bolt/rivets they use them on aircraft just wondering guys let me know thanks.

Nothing wrong with bolts.
But if you want to go over kill use a hardened flat washer either side, minimum Grade 5 bolts with Nyloc nuts. Will not be loosening
