Default Body Bushing replacement ?

Has anyone here replaced the body bushings on a 69 GP ? I'm looking to get my car painted and I thought it might be a good idea to replace the body bushings prior to painting . I'm curious about how difficult this may be ? Are there any of them that are hidden or really hard to get to ?

The '69 GP is pretty much just an A-body with a stretched frame. Shouldn't be much different than what I had to do to replace the mounts on my '64 Tempest.

i replaced them on my 63 GP but i had the body off the frame.if you dont plan on taking the body off you will still have to remove all the body bolts on one side at a time to be able to lift the body enough to get the old out and new in. just takes a little time.
