My front coil spring tree is rusted in to. My question is the original looks like rivets what to use to attach new spring tree to frame?

time to get out your grinder, and just grind those bad boys off, then use a hammer to break 'em free. repace the 'rivets' with stainless fasteners. In a production environment there isn't time to assemble with the thought that will probably NEVER be serviced....but I agree, a nut insert would have been more classy~
