how do the rivets that hold the front sping hangars look?

They tend to get loose and let the hangars move around. If so cut them out and replace with bolts and thread locker.

I had an 86 gasser that did that, I never ck`ed the spring mount rivets but I do know that it had a bent shackle and wasted spring bushing on the right front spring. If I soaked it with some lube it`d go away for a couple of days.
