(1) In bag #7-4 you will find
the #7352 black fiberglass rear shock strut. (2) Now go back
to bag #7-5 and remove the two #7323 rear body mounts and
two #7323 rear body mount posts, two #6285 4-40 x 1/4"
SHScrews, and two #6924 4-40 x 3/8" SHCScrews. (3) Trim
the four #7323 body mount parts from the mold runner if they
are still attached. (4) Use the #6285 screws to mount the
small round rear body mount posts to the rear body mounts
as shown in fig. 83. (You can use one of the #6332 body hood
pins from bag #7-5 to hold the round post while you tighten the
mounting screw.) There are not a lot of threads, so be careful
not to overtighten. (5) Do the same for the second mount. The
body pin holes should point to the left and right when mounted
on the truck. (6) On each side of the #7352 rear shock strut
(near the middle) you will see three vertical holes (see fig.
82). Place the body mounts on the strut so that the small
locator pin on the mount fits into the bottom hole of the shock
strut and the body mount is facing up. This side will now be
the back of the shock strut. Thread the #6924 screws through
the center holes from the front side as shown in fig. 84. Go
ahead and attach the second mount on the other side of the
shock strut.

From bag #7-4 remove two #6917
4-40 x 3/8" BHSScrews. We want to mount the #7352 rear
shock strut to the back of the #7322 rear bulkhead. If you look
at fig. 85 you will see two holes at the bottom of the shock strut
and near the middle of the rear bulkhead. You will also see
two more mounting holes at the top of the "V" shaped end of
the rear bulkhead but two just inside and under the rear body
mounts on the rear shock strut. Place the shock strut over the
rear bulkhead so the four holes indicated on the strut line up
with the four mounting holes on the rear bulkhead. Fasten the
black fiberglass shock strut to the rear bulkhead as shown in
fig. 86, using the two #6917 BHSScrews through the upper
mounting holes. These are the ones just below the rear body
mounts.
