I used to see like steel thread inserts ( helicoil type ) for repairing tranny mounting holes. I haven't seen any in ages. Haven't looked either for those, so I don't know. Sounds like that would be the likely case. A new set of cases are cheap. I believe I have some if you can't find any. I have a basher It's real heavy & made of used cheaper parts, but nearly indestructable. I had the same problem with the mounting holes. I just drilled the braces & a little filing in the chassis plate & used 6-32 screws & mounted her tight. It is amazing the flex it takes out of ANY truck if all of those screws are tight. Not to mention the drive line & all moving around having a loose trans.. Good luck on your repairs
