I'm trying to piece the jeep back together, but I am not sure where these are supposed to go. There weren't any on there when I took the body off. Do they go around the body bolts? If you are using a repo body then yes they go between the new body and the frame. For a orignal body they might be too thick. The factory used a oiled canves (or similar product) Oringals were only about 1/8 inch thick. If needed thay used more than one at each attachment to align the body. They were used to help prevent rust of metal to metal (yea right) and to prevent squeeks. Normal pratice all makers used back then. I would set the body on and see if the transmission-transfer case clears the floor and if the fenders bolt up. Since their is no adjust of fenders on frame then the body might have to come up a little for the holes to align. Bill
