    Im in the process of swapping my rotted out frame for a rust free specimen from Nevada. Ive sand blasted/primed and painted the new frame and have taken off the front clip and undone everything underneath ready to lift off and put on a body dolly. I managed to get all body mount bolts out with only #3 & #7 LH side sheared off . I notice that #4 & #5 mounts dont seem to have bolts???. does that mean I can now lift the body at this stage?? Any advice appreciated. Cheers

    Yes, #4 and #5 are just spacers. Once you put it back on, you can add a bolt type mount at #4 to help stiffen the rear end.

    The body should lift right up/off. Just go slow and check that all things disconnected. If interior and doors and glass still installed it will be heavier that you think.
