OK, I got 6 of the body mounts off, but I have been told there are 8. I found the 4 in the rear and 2 in the front wheel well, but I can't see any more. Can someone show where the other two are located and how you get at them? By the way it is a 73 Coupe.
Thanx,
Bubs

Bubs, Spring for the assembly instruction manual (AIM). AIMs are worth the cost.

Thanks for the quick response. I have a copy of a manual that my dad got 20 years ago. The diagram shows where they are supposed to be but when I looked from under I could not see anything. Does anyone offer a newer manual that would be easier to follow?

Hi B,
The 2 manuals you might want to consider are the ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION MANUAL and the GM CHASSIS SERVICE MANUAL, both for your specific year car. Many venders sell them for not too many $$.
Regards,
Alan

The #2 body mounts will not be visible from under the car. As stated above, pull the kick panels off in the footwells and you'll see them. Good luck!
