Removing body from 68?
I am going to be removing the body from my 68' shortly and wanted to see if anyone can recommend how to store the body while it is off the frame. I remember seeing plans somewhere before on how to build a support for the body but I can't find them. Thanks for any help.

Do a search using "body dolly" and you should come up with a bunch. Here is one and the thread.

Hi BB,
Here's a picture of a pretty simple dolly I made for my 71. The uprights support the body at each body mount point. I used the frame drawing with dimensions that's in the CHASSIS SERVICE MANUAL as a guide.
It was 1 morning's work.
Regards,
Alan
