The rocker trim? It's held on by a couple of screws that go into the lower edge of the body, not the frame. If you're thinking of something else, post up a pic and I'll see if I can remember how it went together on my '77.
My body wouldn't move at all until all eight bolts were loosened - the #1 bolts just broke, but they're easily accessible on both sides. If your frame and birdcage are clean, I'd just hose the #2 and #3 bolts down with several applications of PB Blaster or Kroil, then try to gently back them out after several days of sitting. If they don't move at all, I'd get the #4 mounts done as well as possible without disturbing the body and worry about the other mounts and getting the #4s shimmed perfectly when winter rolls around.
