I need some advice guys. I have a 64 4-door wagon. I just spent the last two weeks liquid wrenching the body mount bolts, and today got them all loosened up (no problem, yet).
My question:
How do I raise and support the body while I replace the bushings?
Any tips or helpful hints are much appreciated.

I used a floor jack with a piece of 4x4 to distribute the weight. Lifted one side, as little as possible, and slid the bushings in place. Started the bolts, then did the other side.

Just a word of caution, don't open the doors while you have the body jacked up. The front of the door may contact the rear of the fender if you do (speaking from experience).

I know Im going to get bashed for saying this,but on one of my first cars a 72 I took one bushing out at a time and replaced it with the new ones,It worked perfect,you might have to pry up on some of them a litle but not much.
