Body mount question
I have to replace my #4 driver side body mount. Also the support bracket that is rivited to the fiberglass body. My question is can I change just that one. Or do I have to loose the 4 left side mounts and lift. Or will I have enough room to rivit the new bracket in place and slep the rubber mount in place.

Yes, you can replace just that one without touching the others. You said you need to replace the #4 bracket and metal cap that is riveted to the body, right? Remove the bracket first, while that is off, grind the rivets and remove the cap. Don't forget the rivet between the body and splash apron, it has 5 rivets. You will need to clean up the inside, as it is probably all rusted and replace the body bolt as well. I'd use s/s bolts to secure the new cap in place and ferget the rivets. If you need to use 5 bolts, you will need to drill an access hole in the splash apron to install the back bolt. When all done with this, weld the #4 bracket in place and paint. Hope this was some help.
