Re: Removing body from steel chassis

2018-08-09 by lmeadowsw@...

The 4 link bolts inside the boot and screws along the rear floor in the boot need to be removed. The 1/2" bolts that secure the 4 link will most likely have to be cut, drilled and beat out. The nuts are on the wheel side.
Place a 2 x 4 across the outer bottom of the seat buckets and with a jack, apply pressure to help break the body loose. DO NOT apply any lifting pressure anywhere aft of the center of the rear wheel arches.
Once the body has started to move, slide a piece of conduit (thru the rear wheel arch openings) across the area where the shoulder belt brackets are located and tie the lifting rope or cable to the conduit thru the holes in the body that the shoulder belt brackets came thru. I will send you a picture if you send me your email address.
