[6pack] body off frame

Hi Oliver,

Many body bolts should come out with little hassle.  An air impact wrench is 
a big help if available but not at all necessary.  For those bolts that are 
a bit stubborn apply a generous spray of penetrant then wait a day or so 
before trying again.  It seems that the spare tire hook, the rear fender 
supports from the chassis and floor bolts are the most common problem areas 
for rusted body bolts.

With the engine and tranny removed to lower the clearance and body properly 
braced the body can be lifted off the chassis with two (and preferably 
three) strong individuals.

Good luck!
