I am helping a friend assemble a 56 Victoria that he bought new in 56 and from what I can tell it had nearly every available option including factory air and a McCullough supercharger. Yes, he is in his eighties and has a younger brother helping him. Kind of neat that when you drive an old car around people will stop and offer cars for sale or get you involved in stuff. These guys asked to take pictures of the core support in my Victoria to aid in assembling theirs and subsequently invited me out to see their project . Long story short, none of us could find an illustration in ANY shop, assembly, or parts manual that illustrates the fitament of the 2 springs, studs. bolts, and possible rubber pads that fasten the core support to the front crossmember. I think the 2 springs are placed over the two studs that protrude from underneath the top bracket on the crossmember. I don't know if any rubber or metal washers go with the springs . He has the 2 1/2 inch nuts with the springs. Am I correct to believe that a rectangular rubber pad should go between the core support and the crossmember up on to cushion the support while the springs allow for some movement or frame flex. I have never found any remnants of rubber pads in any 56 fords I have torn down but feel that a pad and maybe some shims should be there. I worked in an Oldsmobile body shop in the 80's and learned that the lower rear of the front fenders would bow outward if the core support was not shimmed high enough. Any advice would be appreciated.     George
