Do they actually bolt up with out floor modifications? Jegs says they do. I want to bolt them up and weld them.

If they are bolt on then, yes, bolt on with no other modifications.

You'll have to remove the forward leaf spring 'cup' mounts of course so you can place that end of the frame connector under the spring mounts.

There are a few threads in the Brakes and Suspension forum on this subject.

Thanks, I read through a lot of threads, but some were conflicting. I did not check the Brake/suspension. Will go there now.

One thing to note. Once you weld them in, you can't replace the clip nuts for the rear spring perches. so if you break one, it's a difficult repair.
Problem is, if you replace the clip nuts ahead of time, make sure you get good GM parts. I have heard that the aftermarket replacements break very easily.
I have the Jegs parts on my Nova. They work well, and I welded them in.
