What's the best way to approach changing the floor pan body mounts? I have changed the ones on the radiator crossmember plus the ones around the perimeter of the fuel tank. Thanks.

I did it like this on my 69 GTO. I loosened and removed the bolts on the mounts between the wheels. Loosen only one side at a time! I think in my case that was only 2 with bolts in them. I then placed a piece of 4X4 on my floor jack and placed it under the floor pan. I wanted to spread the load as widely as possible on the pan. Then I lifted. Only enough to get the old ones out and the new ones in. Nasty job, but no big deal. Seems like I also had a couple that simply supported the body, with no bolts that I removed and replaced at that time. One was inboard of the frame turn in behind the front wheels and another was in the area where the frame arched up in the rear axle area.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
