    I've removed all the front sheet metal and gutted the interior. I removed two mounts each side at the fire wall, one each side from inside the "trunk", and one each side at the far aft corner of the frame just aft of the bumper brackets. I lifted the front of the body a little and it came up pretty easy. The rear of the body is still attached somewhere. On the Full Size Frame pic on the last page, it looks like there is a set of two mounts each side on the rear torque box, just forward of the rear wheels. I don't see anything there except the Rear Seat mounts. Do these bolt through the frame? I had left the bolts loosely in place for safe keeping. There is one that's broken off! Too big of a hurry and forgot to soak with PB Blaster. That stuff works miracles!

    I'll post some pics of the mount locations soon.

    I started a build thread here:

    http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17186

    I found the body mounts I was missing on the under side of the frame just forward of the rear bumper. I think I have a pic on the build thread showing the body up on jack stands. If not, I'll be sure to post one here.
