I remember removing the one I got from an 87. Looking at it as it dropped,
I thought just how the heck will I remember how this goes back on?
That was about 5 years ago and it's gonna be a 6 pack Saturday to figure it out again..

Not a 100% sure but I think you have to get some nut serts for the unibody rail side and drill some holes if you didn't have one from the factory.
Let me get under there tomorrow and take a look, will get back with you.

Need a nutsert, not sure what size, I've been meaning to check on that since I need to install mine too. I also believe it's just one bolt to the "frame" and two attach to the trans crossmember.
Google "home made nutsert tool" to save a few bucks, no need to buy a tool to install one single 'sert.

I have some nut serts in your want them. They are ridiculous expensive. I bought some from Black Magic. Had to buy 6 at a time. PM me if you are interested.
Bought them for this same reason just haven't got around to it yet.
