Can anyone verify the number of body to frame bolts? I see 6. Thanks

I don't have a TC/S myself but a yahoo/io lister made extensive notes on body removal.  You can find them here:

If you do not count the inside seatbelt bolts, I believe there are six - two on the ‘T’, two at the bottom of the dashboard, and two near the end of each leg of the frame. You will have to unscrew the parking brake pivot (and the aforementioned seatbelt bolts). Do not forget the screws for the closing plate, all the pedals, the e-brake and speedo cables, and all the wires and grounds. That is probably not a complete list but it is a start.
