youch, i was afraid you were going to say you did it that way. that was my original thought about 4-5 years ago, but i said no way, i am not going to do all that work, so i have been coming up with 2 designs for the last 6 months or so. one design is a 3x3x3x3/16" block that will bolt to the frame, then the body will bolt to it using all the original body bolts, bushings and nuts, plus a new 3/4" bolt and nut for the lower mount of the block. and just recently, a guy told me he could machine some 3/4" bolts to use as a female end for the existing male end of the bolts that are welded into the body so that one could use a regular body lift block and bushings were they should go, then bolt this female end from underneath to tighten everything up. nothing is finished yet, in fact, we haven't even started on the female bolts yet. man, i'm just glad i didn't go nuts and do what you did. not saying that it doesn't work just as well as anything else, just that it's a lot more work, in my opinion. thanks for the info though.
