This requires the rails to be cut open to gain access to the hardware inside (note the channel which has been cut, then bent back into place). If you cut open the rails, plan on welding them back up when you're done." heres a link http://www.popularhotrodding.com/tech/0505phr_g28/index1.html -- 78' formula- RIP ...never put off brakes.... even if they're just going out, replace them NOW!!!

Its not really that bad of a job,as long as all the bolts turn out. If the nut breaks loose it can be a major pain in the ass. If I am correct,the picture that goes with that caption is the body mount at the firewall. On my 70 the front of that pocket is open where you can get into the nut to spray it with penetrating oil. --  Posted By: blacknight On: 03-18-2006 @ 16:35:32 Reply | Top | Edit My Caps Lock Button Is Broken Posted By: blacknight On: 03-18-2006 @ 16:37:10 Reply | Top | Edit thanks about the body bushing info, anyone have any info about the rear sway bar set up???

They should be able to set you right up. -- [ Edited on 03/18/2006 @ 17:58:31 ]
