Body Mount Bushing Questin!
Help, i'm getting ready to put the body back on the chasis and i'm not sure i understand how the new bushings go together. I don't want to screw this up, so please help. To explain the problem in detail i put together a web page. Please check it out and provide any feed back. Thanks.

Hi!
I faced the same problem!
You are talking of mounts from Prothane, do you?
What I learned of VBP is that the conical bushings go between Frame and Body, the flat ones to be supported by the washers.
#1 and #4 mounts will have the conical on the top of the latch and the flats underneath , all bein bolted from bottom up.
Th #2 ND #3 mounts will have the flat one on the top and the conical ones between body and frame - I´m not sure at the moment which direction they point, but I would guess the same like the others.....
Hope this helps!

Ahh the good ol' body mounts... :lol:
I did this very recently and I was able to take few pics along the way. Like they say pictures says more than 1000 words. So here's pics:
Here's the bushings all lined up except for one pair which I had all ready in place.
Body mount #4 in place.
No1 and No2 in place.
And finally # 4 in the right place.
Here's alll of them in place.
Another wiew.
Rear shot.
Hope these will help you.
