Default Re: Removing & reinstalling body

You may want to do a couple of other things before you put on the body. First of all make sure your frame is straight. To check this, run a chalk line from the front to the back and see if it sags by the rear motor mounts. If if does, get it straightened otherwise your hood will not fit correctly.
Second you may want to put in a new wiring package. If the old one does not look good or if you want to install turn signals, this is a good time to put in a new wiring harness.
Below if the picture works, is a picture of us putting on my body. We had just the two of us (plus a dog) to do it. We used a chain lifter in the front and a motor lifter in the back. I made "hooks" out of angle iron to hook under the firewall in front and the back of the body. If you would like, PM me and I will send you pictures. Hope the picture works and does not take up the whole internet.
