My 76 Palm Beach has the thin single strip body pad still completely intact on both sides with adequate clearance for wires, tubes and hoses at the appropriate locations. I don't see any points where the body is not separated from the frame by the body pad.
A section at the front passenger side has slipped out and I'm sure I can reinstall it by loosening the front body hold down bracket and jacking.

The cross section of the pad strip looks like an "I" beam the web of which is about 3/8" thick and the rails are about 1/2"thick. Is it completely compressed or was that the original shape?

I'm not inclined to do a lot of work unless I'm sure the result will be a clear an substantial improvement.

So my question is: Given the condition of my body pad can I expect any improvement if I replace the strips with new body pads or will it be wasted time and effort?
