    If I remember 1958 well enough it was a near bolt in. My exhaust head pipe was different and I should have moved the crossover brake line on top of the front crossmember as the front mount sat right down on it and squashed it. Move it first. All these years and I still remember looking at what I had done to that tube and feeling really dumb.
