Louis, if you can get all of the mount bolts out, you're on your way!!
Once you have all of the body mount bolts out, you can lift one side of the body at a time, to remove/install the mounts. Get a 2x4, and set it up against the bottom edge of the body, under the door. Then jack up on the board carefully. The body will raise enough to change the mounts this way. Just be carefull, and work slowly. Sometimes the mounts will be stuck, and may require a small amount of "persuasion" with a prybar.
Be sure to make note of any shims on the original mounts, and the location. You will need to re-install the shims in the same place, or you'll have body alignment issues.

You don't need to take the body off unless the rockers and frame mounts are rusted out. You need to be carefull when trying to lift the body enough to put the new mounts in and watch for things that will move up with it, the front and rear bumpers, the steering rag joint, and any wirering, etc…).
