I'll post pics in a bit the weld nuts that where stock on the chassi it's self are busted off so prob do what you said and drill out and weld a nut in there with a new bolt and be done with it.

You might have an easier time with threaded rivets also called nut serts.

Rivet Nuts / Threaded Inserts | Rivets In Stock - Rivets & Rivet Tools

These seem to be easier to work with than welding a nut on. You just need the tool that crimps them into place.
