I'm plannin on replacing my body bushings on my k5 this coming month, and just wondering if anyone has any tips or a DIY on how to install them and the amount of time it took, thanks

Amount of time depends on the amount of rust.

I believe it's easiest to loosen all of the mounts, but only take bolts out on one side out at a time. Just jack up the body and replace the mounts on one side and loosely install the bolts on that side. Then jack up the other side and change those ones. Then tighten all of them after checking body alignment. And don't forget the radiator support mounts.
