Id be careful as if there are some visible holes there are no doubt some oter bits that are paper thin (unless there are there deliberately, i dont know enough to answer that).

The holes look like they are meant to be there (?mudflap brackets). Looks like the outrigger has been repaired. The main chassis rail looks a bit thin and may require welding but that's what you can expect from a nearly 40 year old vehicle.
