Frame and Body Mounting

Frame and Body Mounting

The frame is made up of steel channel 2-piece rails, riveted crossmembers, except for the transmission support crossmember which is bolted, and a rear crossmember (trailer hitch). The vehicle body sits on rubber body supports. There are lower and upper body supports to keep the vehicle body from sitting directly on the frame. There is a kit available to repair the subframe.

For diagonal or X-frame checking. When welding is carried out on the vehicle.

Body Support Mounts

The body support mounts:

- secure the body to the frame.
- cannot reuse body support mounting fasteners. New fasteners must be installed for each fastener that has been removed or loosened.
- cannot be lubricated during body support mount installation.
