I took the chassis with me to pick up the body. We simply set it on the chassis and put the bumperette rods thru the body (wrapped towels around them) and bolted it on.

When I got home I took the time to re-set the body and screw and bolt as needed to the frame. It worked great and was a simple solution to a big problem.

When I took it over to the painters to begin with I set it on sawhorses. That works well too, however you have to be very careful when you bring it home. I screwed the sawhorses to the trailer floor and then screwed the body to the sawhorses. In places that would never show of course.

BTW:
The doors, hood and truck came home inside the truck wraped in soft blankets.
