body mount hell....
I have the distinct pleasure of having to change body mounts on a 77. Of
course being in Nebraska the bolts are totally rusted. I was able to get the two just under the doors, but the one on the pass rear is just spinning, and the drivers side sheared off. I'm guessing there is a staked nut inside the little "box" on the body. Can I just peel that box off and re-attach that somehow? If so, how do I go about doing that. I assuming I cant tack weld steel to fiberglass thanks for any help |

I've been there. The best way to get the bolt out is to cut the head off. The nut sits in a metal box which rusts out, and lets the bolt spin. Good luck on your project.

The rear mounts are a caged nut that the cage is riveted to the body with a
backing plate. You can get these at Dr. Rebuild and I think Paragon. "gorrilla" > wrote in message news:SpPBg.106567$IZ2.28770@dukeread07... > > "Carl" > wrote in message > ... >> >> I've been there.
