Body bushings

[LET]

do all body bushings in a 1967 GTO have bolts? Mine doesn't! The two (left and right) just in front of the rear tires are just biscuit. No holes for bolt! Is this correct, or when i replace them should i bolt them?

A Fisher Body Manual for the model would be a good resource to have. Page 4 shows the bolting detail.

How the hell does one search in google drive?!

I typed in every possible combination surrounding Fisher body and got goose eggs.

That's what happens when using the Omnipotent Google as a search. And it's even worse when using Chrome. It seems that google tries to hide itself from itself, and identifies that as "security" to its users. Everything else looks right through that veil.

Using a real search engine in an independent browser got that for me in the first 10 results on page 1.

Thanks for the information! I actually have the fisher body book, but I'm not smart enough to figure much out!

I think i figured it out! My 67 must have been a late build, because i checked and the 68 uses biscuits in the position i found the biscuits !

A few versions of late B- and D-bodies were intentionally built with some of the bushings absent from some of the frame mount pads. This was done to help "float" the body from the frame to isolate it and provide a softer ride feel. However, all the the locations using bushings also used bolts into the weld nuts in the floor pan.

My guess is that intentionally leaving bushings out of some positions would not have been done with a Tempest/LeMans/GTO.

Maybe this is a little clearer:
