Body Mounts; Cage Nut alternative?

[oldsofb]

There are 2 alignment holes that you can use 5/8 round bar in. One is on the driver side underneath parking brake area, the other is near the passenger side spare tire area. Look and you'll see one hole in each area on the frame. A 5/8 round bar will go in the frame and up into the body to align the two together. Just make sure you do both at the same time to square the body to the frame.

Thanks. I never did this body stuff before.

Don't worry! I had never gotten this deep into the car before either. When I set the body back on the frame I lined everything up pretty easily utilizing the alignment holes at the driver-front #2 mount position and the passenger-rear #7 mount position as seen below

That's what those holes are for. Learn something new everyday.

I was able to save my captured nuts when I did my bushings. I did have to go in from the top for both on the driver's side. In hindsight, doing the same on the passenger side would have been much quicker and easier.
