Nut and bolt it.

It most likely isn't coming apart again in your lifetime.

Yup. Just bolt it in. If you have welder access tack weld the nut in place otherwise don’t worry about it.

In my case with a non winter driven car...turn the bolt in 1*, back out 2*, turn in 3*, back out 4* etc. I did spray penetrating oil on the accessible threads and tapped the bolt heads. Also ,I did this on the evening of my birthday for 3 hours and none broke. Best Birthday present!

Yeah I guess the coming back out part is a valid point. Especially after a cage is installed. Plus the car will be taken much better care of than it was the first 39 years of its life lol

Guess I have a lot of access hole drilling to do!

You can always cut out the old nut and busted off bolt from the body well and install a new diamond nut if needed. PITA but what else you gonna do if it's rusted to the point the bolt is broke off into it and you can't reach it. I saw where Dixie Restoration Depot sells new ones.
