Body mount complete kit

I guess I'm just confused by why the number 3 bushing bolts need nuts, there's no holes in the floor to access a nut.

the #3 I am referring to is the #3 in this diagram...there should be a nut plate to install the bolt

Yeah me too. Lol guess I just got confused by this...

That is confusing cause I have never heard of a nut being required for that location, I have taken apart maybe 1/2 dozen of junk G bodies to make them into circle track cars and #3 all had bolts in that location with a trapped nut plate in the body

When I did my Bonneville, I did not like the bolts that were offered. I just needed 3 or 4 bolts since they were rusted or broke, I ended up going to the junkyard and got 7 or 8 of them rust free. Took about ten minutes with a cordless impact and about 6 cars. Typically the bolts in front of the rear wheels were best. You can get them off a gbody or bbody.

There, I ordered the kit, hole sawed a couple holes in my trunk and got the last two bolts out of there. Jacked the car up a little. Looks like I might need to get a couple washers to repair the mount holes in the frame. At least the two directly behind the axle.

Seems like it should be an easy enough job and worthwhile getting rid of bullshit like this...

Much better than buying new bolts. I did the same.

My Impala SS has a couple of bushings like that from the factory. Intentionally.

hasnt been a walk troughbone yard in twenty years in Conn.I think one is left upstate.
I enjoyed that alot when I was younger.Gov cash for clunkers made it basically impossible to find anything pre 80"s

Oh I'm not complaining. And it might just be the two holes.. my father had a 1980 Cutlass in like 1990 needed both sides of the frame replaced. I love the shape my car is in structurally.
