When I built my "65 283 SS / MA Superstocker in the late 70"s to stiffen the whole combination I removed all the rubber body mounts from both sides of frame & made new ones by cutting up 2 inch dia. pipe with thickness matching old rubber spacers & welding large washers to both sides .jacked up body carefully & slipped my new creations in the origin positions of old mounts with long bolts / nuts after using round hole saw to access the ones that came thu body to tighten . opened the doors when finished to find no binding . 8 point cage tied including vertical bars down thu floor to new crossmember front ladder bar pickup points made a solid combo in its day .. that's my chassis story
