Pre-67 body on post-67 pan

Hi. Was wondering what involved in putting a pre-67 body on post-67 pan. I've been told there are changes involving those mounts above the rear wheels, but nobody seems to know exactly what (i.e. whether they are higher/lower on the post-67 pan).

Thanks for your help.

The mounts on the pre '67 body need to be shortened, can't remember how much, about 25mm?.
The rest bolts over

Do you mean the actual mount in the wheel well of the body? Isn't it spot welded? Do I simply relocate it higher/lower? Sorry for the fifty Q's.

No you just have to grind about 25 mm off the lower section . Dont try n remove it from the inner guard. just reweld a flat plat in the bottom of it again with similar hole to allow body to be bolted down.
