Not including the front clip/radiator support I removed 10 bolts. Are there any more? Car is a 66 El Camino.

If I remember correctly there were 14 when I did mine.
Counting the two in the core support, you are short two.

If I'm wrong I apologize for bad memory, but you might look a little more in the rear axle area above the spring area and just forward where the frame turns outboard.

Either had 10 or 12 in mine from rar bumper to firewall, cant remember. There are two supplementals that I think only the Verts or BB cars used I think.

2-rear corner of frame
2 behind rear wheel
2 above rear spring perch
6 more up to firewall
Pretty sure on this.

Edit: Sufin66 was right.

2 in the door area-----see the little boobie in the floor by the door sill?

If yours are too shot to use think I got a set in the bag from Muscle Factory Ill probably never use.

Thanks for the offer. They were all in really good shape so I will be able to re-use. Didn't find anything over the rear axle though. Could that be a big block only deal?

If they are there they will be right on top of the spring bucket (if I remember towards the front of it, kind of hard to see)
If you look up in the area where the spring sits youll see the bolt head. If not then youre done
