Can anyone explain or direct me to facts on the difference between the body mounts between the 63 and later models.

From what I have been able to guess, is that the 63 only has two rubber cushioned body mounts to the rear of the floorboards on the frame crossmember, and the remaining mounts are solid, while the later cars have rubber bushings in all of the mounts. How many mounts are there?

Correct?

Working on our 65 coupe. One thing I can add is that the coupes didn't use the #2 mount. Confused the hell out of me when I was missing the parts for #2!

You can compare the two frames and the dimensions/location of the mounts in the 63 shop manual and the 64 supplement.

The Paragon instruction sheets below may help. The first (1460) shows the 1963 and the second (1461) shows 1964-1967.

When I pulled the body on my 63, there were 2 rectange shaped rubbers on the rear frame cross member (the one just in front of the fuel tank) and there were 2 round rubbers on the mounts that are just next to the inner seat belt bolts. All the others were solid. When I put the body back I thought about using the later rubber mounts but was afraid that raising the body on the frame would create problems down the road with bumper installation.

Also, '64-up coupes and convertibles are different at the #1 mounts (the ones at the base of the firewall); coupes use rubber cushions there, but convertibles use solid aluminum spacers there (to improve cowl area rigidity).
