Are the rear body mounts the same as the supplement kit (2 mounts) that you can buy? Those are the only 2 that I need for my 69. Mine look to be distorted but not cracked. The others look to be in good shape. Really all I need is the rubber parts. I'm going to use stainless bolts and washers.

You may want to check and see if stainless bolts are strong enough... usually need grade 8 bolts for something that will carry that kind of load. I got my new frame bolts from Ground Up... call them to see what grade they use.

I used ARP stainless bolts to attach the body. They are rated at a little better then grade 8.

The grade 8 bolts would be a lot stronger for sure. All I need is the bolts, washers, and rubbers for the rear corners of the frame. I hate to buy a whole set just to get those 2. They show 2 extra mounts in the Ground UP catalog but are they for the rear?
