Are you saying the HARDWARE ILL is for a 57? It may be a generic photo.

...ok...

I knew I wasn't crazy (open to professional diagnosis ) ...

The info I have been continually referring to as ORIGINAL FORD SERVICE INFO which has been deleted from most current FORD literature has been found (chart - text only).

The 49/59 FORD MPC FINAL ISSUE (which one can obtain on CD)-

SHEET METAL ILLUSTRATION SECTION PAGE 710
1953/1954 BODY BOLT REPLACEMENT CHART

I stumbled across it unintentionally. It is one example that was not deleted (superscession updates). It gives all of the body mount hardware Service Part Numbers.

As soon as I get my printer back into earth orbit, I will post.

On your 8/27/2018 at 2:23pm post, the second photo that shows the kit (not the first illustration of frame with mounting locations). The second photo showing the kit is for 57/58, but the first illustration is 54/56/56 Ford full-size car frame.
At least one of the resto parts suppliers used to offer the whole kit for one lower price than the individual pieces, but now, I believe they have discontinued offering it. There seems to be a lot of '55/56 repro parts disappearing from the catalogs these days as the suppliers are placing more emphasis upon the 49/50/51 Ford repro parts.

The work is now complete, what a difference! The cab is much quieter now, kinda muffled. So much so, I now hear the grill over the speaker on the dash buzzing. New project!!
And it all started over a crack in the B pillars, it was a lot of work, hopefully I'll forget that and as they say, "enjoy the ride".
Thanks all for your input.

I'll forget that and as they say, "enjoy the ride".

It does make a difference...
