Advice needed: how to moutn 26 27 subframe and body

Post by Matt_A_1926 » Thu Sep 24, 2020 12:39 pm

Hey guys. I'm looking to do a preliminary mounting of my 27 27 Touring pickup body and sub frame to my frame. Just looking to see if you guys have instructions/prints for what goes where and how to mount everything.

The process is straight forward, locate all the body mount brackets on your '26-'27 frame.

Then place the body with its subframe over the brackets, it first helps to place the wood body block mounts, with holes for the bolts to slip thru the frame brackets.


Note body wood block, mounted.

The bed will mount to the top member of the subframe with long bolts thru the bed flange and the subframe, nuts mount below.
