Wow- wonder if it had already been replaced?? Never saw one held on with rivets?? Guess if I really wire wheel it, I should be able to see where the spot welds and solid welds are.

Drill out all of the rivets and it should come right off. There were a couple of long welds on mine that I ground down with a grinder. Then get a chisel and split it from the framehead. My chassis was a '64 and real rusty. Maybe that made it easier. Just note, or take a pictures of how the old one is on the chassis. It was no harder to do that the floorpans.
