The body does not rest on the frame over the axle area.
Again you might need to sane the body where the frame contacts it not allowing you to move it.
Once you get the body located on the frame with all the tires located as best you can and as even both sides front to back and you are happy with it.
You need to put in (4) dowels to use to realign the body after you take it off and want it back in the same place.
What I used was (4) of the large pop rivets, drill thru the interior floor into the frame and slide the pins in. then take them out and remove the body.
When you put it back align it with the (4) pop rivets.
Also, be sure you have put the insulation or body to frame material down before you align the body. It makes a difference.
This is the exciting time when you start putting holes in the body for side pipes, bumpers and roll bars. Oh Boy! Pucker time!!!!!
have fun
Jim
