Almost all vendors sell all the same stuff. I went with a local vendors, built a repor with them. Save on shipping and could return things when they were not correct. I have purchased from Ground up also. Always get the persons name who helps you, that way you have a contact.

How many bolts hold the body to the frame. I found and removed 6. 2 behind each rear wheel and 2 at the front corners.

My 68 has 8 not counting the 2 on the core support. 2 By the rear bumper area. 2 behind the rear wheels. 2 in front of the rear wheels 6 inches or so away. And 2 in the front cab area.

On mine, just the body itself I had 12 bolts, 6 pair. Two pair behind the rear axle. One pair above the rear axle, one pair in front of the axle, one pair in the middle of the body and one pair in where the fenders meet the body. I have about 500 pictures from my build so far in the photobucket link in my signature if you need to reference anything.

You should be able to see the holes in these two pictures that are about 1.5 inches in diameter where the bushing should be at. On some cars the one right behind the crossmember is just a bushing without a bolt in it.

Thanks Nancy

Jason looks like you've got a pretty good start! Mine was sitting like that not to long ago. A word of caution if I may, the block you are using to hold the car up are very weak in the center where the board is laying, they are much stronger if you were to turn them 90° so the board is laying on the two tips sticking up and even stronger when laying flat if you had enough block. My grandpa, dad, and uncles were all brick masons and I've been around it my whole life. I'd just hate to see one of the block give and hurt you or your car.
