Default 34 body to frame bolt locatons

Hey guys, craziest things sometimes, I actually have 2 34s Im replacing subrails on, and neither came with old floors or subrails, and naturally the subrails don't have any holes, so Im not sure where the body/subrail, to frame bolts go, except the front 2, of course,
Ive found a lot of stuff on the internet but nothing just showing me which existing holes in the frame are for the body bolts...
One is a tudor sedan and other is a 3 window ..
Thanks ….

On my 4-door, it was every available hole on the rails. On the X-member, I'm not so sure. There was a recent thread on here about body bolts for a cabriolet, and someone posted how many bolts are in the Nacowitz kit, and how many are used for each rail and the X-member. If you find that thread, it should help you identify what you need to look for.

I have some photos I have collected, not sure on the body styles on some of them. One set for sure is where the door jam bolts to the frame. (Some of the holes are spotwelds that have been drilled out) I have a lot more photos, just not sure how helpful they are to you.

In addition to the vertical attachments on the X member and along the top of the frame side rails, both your 3-window coupe and Tudor sedan will have three horizontal attachment points on each side. The first farther forward is on the side of the sill immediately in front of the door hinge pillar. The other two are in the lower rear wheel house panels similar to that in the photo below (of a roadster wheel house, complete with lace).
