There are 5 with bolts on each side of the frame. The first is at the radiator mount, the
second right behind the front wheels, the third just in front of the rear wheels, the
fourth just behind the rear wheels and the last at the end of the frame.

There may be one or two more on each side that are not bolted in. The first is mid way
between the 2nd and third described above. The 2nd would be at the crossmember in
front of the rear spring top perches. They are held in by the weight of the body and the
pressure from the compression on the ones with bolts.

Now, a bit of a twist is a convertible wich will have yet a third one that is not bolted in.
It would be inboard from the one behind the front wheels.
