MOUNTING THE BODY TO THE FRAME

[s19243h]

Wondering how you guys mount your body to the frame? i have a tp car that uses the rubber well nuts are these things safe? ive replaced 2 already everytime i get ready to take the car for a ride i lift up on all 4 corners of the bodyto see if it lifts off the frame or not am i tightening these things to tight? whats the procedure or should i try another option

I actually had tabs off the side of the frame with regular bolts. The biggest worry is if in an accident keeping body on frame. Seat belt is to frame holding body on with it dont want body coming off when you are seat belted to frame.:cripple:

This is how Ex Junk did his with a link to discussion.

I think this is the same wreck but a different angle.I have TP also and use the rubber nuts no problems yet if you get hit by something that hard your messed up no matter how you mount the body.And i would NOT!!! mount the belts to the frame.A friend of mine got into an accedent this last fall and he had angle brackets on the frame but his belts were mounted to the body and when the dude hit him he ran straight through the body and it ended some 10-15 feet from the frame with him in the body and not cut in half from the belts.JMO

I made 6 brackets that mount to the frame sides using 3/8" bolts through the floor

looks like i broke another body bushing i think im tightening them to tight the nuts are coming through the rubber so i just tightened them tight enough to put pressure against them, as far as the seat belts i used a 1/4 inch thick peice of flat iron mounted to the underside of the floor and attached my belts to that i dont want to be strapped into the frame under impact i would rather go flying strapped into the body jmo
