Front Bumper

I finally got that ugly front bumper off the truck.
Gotta bring a winch style lower grill in from the hangar before I install the winch bumperettes. Removing rusted 70 year old bolts was a chore.

About fifty years ago we needed to relocate the truck across the storage yard (I wasn't there).
So one of my friends torched a couple of holes in the frame and stuck a big U-bolt in to attach the towbar.
It's always kind of bothered me and now that I'm refurbishing the truck, I'm going to repair the rear hole because it is structural.
However, the front hole isn't and my friend went west way early, so I'm thinking about leaving that front hole as a historical tribute to him (it isn't structural and can't be seen when the winch and bumperettes are on the truck).

I'm dithering - what would you all do ?
