After taking the body off my 64, I was inventorying the mount hardware and something doesn't make sense.... Here's what I found:
Radiator support: 3 horseshoe shaped body shims welded to the frame on each side.
Mount # 1 (at firewall): No rubber, a couple of shims and one aluminum spacer on each side.
Mount # 2 (under door sill): a couple of shims and nothing else.
Mount # 3 (in rear wheel well): some shims, rubber donuts above (inside the access) and below (between body and frame).
Mount # 4 (near gas tank): Rubber domuts between body and frame and below the frame mounting.
Middle mounts (center of body near inboard seat belt attachments) 1 thick flat washer on each side between body and frame.
No mount provisions at all at the outboard seat belt locations.
It appears that I have some sort of mix between 63 and 64 body mounting hardware. I doesn't match anything in my 64 AIM. My car is an early 64 (Nov 63 build; #105578). All mounts had what appeared to be reminants of tape holding the shims and aluminum spacers in place, so I am assuming that these are original.
Anyone have any input on whether this is correct or not?
 
I have never seen it but is it possible sure. From what i have read about the year changes in ST Louis anything is possible. If your car is that early i would think they may have been using up old inventroy. good thing you looked at all this as you where taking it apart. smart move. I would just put it back the same way it came apart.
