This document is a scanned page (47-06-13) from a Ford shop manual showing Figure 18, "Torino and Montego Station Wagon and Ranchero Underbody Dimensions." The blueprint-style side-view diagram depicts the underbody/frame with numbered body mount positions (#1, #1b, #2 through #6, plus an "F" body mount) located along a horizontal station grid running from -50 to 140. Various vertical and horizontal dimensions (e.g., 1.25, 3.82, 4.94, 8.22, 6.33, 9.18, 7.18, 7.00, 1.70, 3.10) locate the mounts relative to the frame centerline. An uploader has annotated the scan with red callout boxes listing the size of each body mount: #1 is 2" W x .925", #1b is 2" W x .880", #3 is 2" W x 1.00", and #4, #5, and #6 are each 2" W x .900". A highlighted note advises using 1968–1972 Chevelle body mounts, turned down to the thickness specified for each mount position, and states that two kits are required to have enough mounts for a Ranchero (with some left over). The note warns that the numbers are preliminary and subject to change. The drawing carries reference number N1361-D.
