Default Body mount replacement

Hello All! Would someone please provide me with the link to the step by step body mount and bushing replacement procedure for a C3? I have a 1970 convertible. I tried doing a search and came up with everything but what I was looking for.

Thanks for your help!

Clark

Thanks for the link. It looks as though this is for a rubber bumper car which might be different from my 70 convertible. I heard the convertibles can be tricky. If anyone has details on rubber versus poly and where the best place to purchase the bushings and the mounts that would be great.

It looks as thought the easiest way is the one side at a time approach. What else shoudl I expect to do while I have the body lifted a few inches?

Thanks

Also try various searches on body mounts. Try Vettemod site some info on that site to. The toughest part is removing the bolts. One side is right. When lower body check that all mounts are tight (don't spin) before you tighten bolts. Post problems you might have someone will respond with a good answer.

I replaced brackets, mounts and got great help on the forum as I went along.
