Rick Allen Posted June 25 Report Share Posted June 25 I'm thinking of doing a body off restoration myself and I'm curious how many bolts hold the body to the frame?,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanda62 Posted June 25 Author Report Share Posted June 25 This diagram from the parts manual shows the location of the bolts (13) and studs (2). The diagram does not include the two bolts that hold down the radiator saddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanda62 Posted July 9 Author Report Share Posted July 9 The body is back on the frame. Took 7 guys to lift it and place it on the frame. The only place that caused an issue was the accelerator bracket on the back of the engine as we got too close and scraped the paint - nothing a little touch up can't fix.

Fourward Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 Oh, yeah, they are in plain sight in the trunk. No wonder I couldn't find them underneath. And, upside down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
