Body to Frame Mounts

[KULTULZ]

Thanks guys. Looks good to go. The #4 drivers side had two shims so will just use the again. The illustration I made up. Thanks again.

One last thing, how tight do you tighten the bolt?

If you made that ILL, you are a man of many talents ...

Below is an ILL of the mounts giving torque values. I do not know the source as Jwahite (1956 SW) included it in one of his earlier posts (2018) describing his ordeal.

OK ... The ILL posted above is a partial scan from the 1955 WSM (NOV 1954 - Pg. 195) so the torque values will be correct (1956 should be the same as JW has a 1956 WSM). I will try to scan the complete ILL and post it.

It is done. Broke the #10 drivers side loose finally. The rest of them went easy. Loosened both sides then removed the drivers side first. Jacked it up and laid on a few 2x4s. Then wire brushed the mounts and installed new pads. Tightened it down to 20 ft pounds and done, I hope.

The acetone/ATF combo is the best penetrant I’ve found yet.
