I'm goung with traditional frame mounted tie down brackets with my Douglass 9' body. I take mine off quite a bit and like knowing that it doesn't have to be perfectly aligned when mounted and the Fastguns have their inherent spring tension available when needed. I think I'm still 6 weeks out with my build.
I'm going through the process of ordering and designing a new Douglass service body for a TC and you're the only example I could find so far that is also going the traditional tie down route.
I'm wondering if this might be similar to your new Douglass truck body?

Any advice you'd like to pass along? Removing the front turnbuckle isn't too onerous to access those front cabinets? Any particular reason you attached the front turnbuckles to the jack instead the TC's anchor point?
I also liked Bryan Appleby's setup:

Did you consider that approach during your design phase?
