I believe you're best bet is a track bar conversion bracket like SSI's to go to the 3rd gen style. Since the hole is tapered you can't drill it out, and finding, cutting off and welding on the newer style bracket is, well, excessive and possibly dangerous if not done correctly.

On my '98, I drilled out the tapered hole to 3/4" in the frame mount bracket boss and bolted on the 3G trackbar conversion bracket that I made.
Also, I removed the ball stud from the trackbar and machined the housing to accept a 3G bushing and TIG'd it back on with a sleeve in the correct orientation.
