    Hello! I recently purchased a 50 Pontiac that has the body sitting on the frame . Somebody started on it and I have no frame bolts/hardware . Any ideas what the cushions / mounts look like? I tried searches and came up with nothing. Any help is appreciated . Thanks in advance ,AL

    Be sure and join the Pontiac Oakland Club and pose your question.

    They have local chapters too. May be one near you.

    If a push comes to a shove, 1/4" thick conveyor belt with internal webbing will suffice to get you out of a bind. Cut into larger squares with a box cutter knife to fit each body mount, you may need to shim the body to get things to align and open and close. Use suitable 1/2 " or 7/16" HT bolts with large flat and spring washers with nuts to hold things together.

    Chevs of the 40s has these body to frame kits to suit 'A' bodied GMs, Pontiac, Olds, Chevrolet including correct bolts, washers, nuts and body mounting pads
