On my '77 when I redid the straps on those, you could get to the rivets because that extra bit of hanger wasn't there.  I ground those off, got replacement steel flat-head rivets and "squashed" them just like factory in a hydraulic press with new straps attached.  That was after I had the stock hangers powdercoated.
