I think @wore out replaced his cab roof and used a huck riveter - and I think it's a fairly expensive tool. He may have some input on the breather bolts too.
@sawmill is pretty handy too.

Saw the tool on Amazon I need. And the bolt size is 3/8 with a 9/16 head. Drilling the old ones out might be the bigger problem. Especially if the rivet wants to spin along with the drill bit. There’s not really a way to hold the rivet in place from inside the cab due to the awkward positioning.
Oxbow and blairandgretchen Thank this. -
If the insert is spinning, you're screwed - if it's still in place you could try to save it by running a tap into it and Loc-tite it in, but that'll be the last option.
I love buying a little 'add on ' that becomes a train wreck of an installation.Oxbow, Bgimnick, beastr123 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Could always JB weld it to stop spinning...
