Another important note, which as not been mentioned, is the frame alignment. If you bushings are shot, then chances are your frame may have shifted slightly. The two mounts below the firewall have alignment holes. You need to make two pins, about one foot in length each, from solid bar stock. I can't remember the pin diameter, but you can measure the holes and buy the stock at Lowes or Home Depot (I'm out of town right now, otherwise I would measure mine for you). Once all the bushings have been replaced (and bolts loose), install the pins through the frame holes and into the body receptacles. Pry and push the pins as necessary to achieve the correct alignment before tightening the body mounts. Once the pins are removed, you should be able to look through the frame hole and see the body receptacle holes perfectly aligned.
