quick release body mount

[ImpalaPolicePack]

i like the body and i like that it swings up for acces, but when working on the truck it pisses me off... i get tired of removing the 2 long screws in the rear.

i am wondering if anyone has come up with an idea for a quick removal of the body ?

thanks,

Anthony

2 long screws? I remove 2 screws that have about 4-5 turns to each that are like 1/4 inch long.

?

i remove the 2 long ones that are on each sides, where it pivots.

Two short screws on the bottom of the mounts is all I remove, 5 seconds tops to get the body off.

i have found the transmitter can stand up on the rear of the motor and hold the body(hood) open. I've done slot of work and have yet pulled the body off.

thanks steve and rusten, i'll try that until i figure a way of removing/installing it in seconds without tools.

i did try the 2 screws from the rear, and its a bad angle, feels like it will strip the screws head. also have to force/bend the mount to get it over the ''pivot''

im still trying to find a quick release mount with body clips.

I find the same issue but you can stand the body pretty much vertical by unloading the rear suspension and when you let go the body will stand straight up. I am not sure if you need more access than that.

The two screws are in a weird angle.

You can replace the head screw on the rear axle with a longer screw and spacers so that when the body is in the locked position with suspension unloaded it can't get knocked out of place which it currently always does.

I just use a small velcro strap that I just wrap around the very end of the body cage and strap it to the rear axle, it doesn't budge and doesn't take any time.
