You would probably need 4 people in the backseat with a packed heavy trunk driving on a really rough road, like they used to do for the body to make contact with the frame it seems to me. I wouldn't worry about it unless it is a true restoration.

corvette dealers sell similar ones (not exactly the same size, but otherwise the same) for use on early (C1) Corvettes...
Or.. cut some pieces from a tire carcass... OR just clean the ones you have and 'glue' them in place on the frame upright... See the assembly manual for correct placement.Comment

There are a couple of those on Nomads too, right behind the hump. I didn't use them and my body is nowhere near touching the frame. I used urethane body mounts which seem to be a little thicker. I think I have a couple of those if you need them.56 Nomad, Ramjet 502, Viper 6-speed T56, C4 Corvette front and rear suspension

I didn't use them on my Nomad either. The original location was under the cargo floor, below a sheet metal brace that extended below the floor and over the left and right frame rails. I think it was for the occassion you might actually load some weight on that cargo floor, causing deflection to transfer to the top of the frame rails. Hence an isolator material to eliminate any squeeks.1957 Nomad- LS1/T56 on C4 chassis

Hello All,
I'm in a good mood!!! I've gotten back my powder coated frame and was able to undercoat the bottom of the floor!!!! Here's some pictures of it!! Tomorrow the frame goes on and the rear differential maybe to!!!! YIPPPEE!! And one more thing... the undercoating and the paint on the firewall has to go soon so I'll be stripping that stuff off so I can paint it!!

Hey Everyone,
I have my frame up and under the body, it's in great alignment and I'm happy!!! It's sitting solid on some of the body mounts but I need to add some shims to some of the mounts, the problem I'm having is I can't find out what I should torque the bolts too. I've looked through my assy manual and found a statement to find it in the shop manual (which came with the car in 1972) but I can't find any info for the torque rate. Does anyone know what the torque rate is? Thanks for your help!!!Comment
