Re: f-150 frames
Believe it or not.. that makes the frame stronger.

Re: f-150 frames
I remember one of my neighbors bought a 1980 F-150 4X4 regular cab brand new. He claimed it had a weak frame because of the holes in it and was afraid to haul a heavy load. If I remember correctly, the 1981 was supposed to have a stronger frame. If you don't get more answers here, I would do more research.

Re: f-150 frames
My 83 had the same holes and I used it for landscaping. An F100 hauling 1 tonne loads of soil and never a buckle. Don't sweat the holes, watch for rust around the shackles. Those can be weak points.
