Body Hold Down

Need Bolt Size And Were Thay Go To Attach New Tub To Frame 1958 Cj5 Willys.:

 

glass or steel?
body lift or not?

 

sorry,steel.no lift

 

Kevin, is the tub still off the frame? If so, then it should be straightforward to see where the body bolts mount to the frame. IIRC, there's a couple different sizes of bolts involved, inlcuding a couple of carriage bolts in the bed.

OK, just checked. A few different sizes, but as best I can tell......
2 in the bed (carriage for a low profile), 4 along the rear crossmember, 1 in each foot well, 2 on the pinch seam in front of the rear wheels, and 1 in the tool box (I think). And possibly another 2 at the triangle supports at the base of the firewall, although these don't go through the frame. They just hold the hockey pucks in place.

Someone jump in if I've messed up....

 

yes frame is off ,i can see the holes in frame,i think 11 or 12. do youknow the sizes of the bolts,

 

Been a while. Two or three 1/2" by ???, some 3/8, maybe a 7/16 or so. Not really sure, but it was a few different ones. I just put the body on the frame and did some figgerin'.

I assume that you need to know what size holes to drill?

 

yes,AND BUY THE BOLTS.

 

Although not the least expensive way, most suppliers sell "kits" that include all the bolts and body mount spacers. Around $90.00 IIRC
