Default familiar sight?


Notice something though -- NO RUST.

I was able to remove the rear trailing arms, control arms, spring, and half shafts and only had to cut ONE bolt - even the lower shock arms came out! My trailing arms bolts were easy with one exception - the body on the right side must be sagging because it was interfering with the bolt.



If I need to raise the body 1/16" to 1/8" can I do this by loosening the right two rear body mounts and gently jack the body?

THanks,
brian

I got mine out with a wrench 21 years ago, then installed stainless bolts, but I feel your pain.
