so im trying to remove the body of this 115c and im guessing im not seeing them all. has anyone pulled a body yet and if so how many points are holding it on?

I started to answer and realized I not only do not know your year of car, I am not sure of your body style. I suggest using the "Model Information" area under the main menu and locating a shop manual or other manual for your car and reviewing an image of your model/year frame detail, close review will show all mounting points.

115's are 1937 only. The body is identical to your 120-C from the firewall back.

If the front fenders, hood, rear bumper, rear wiring, running boards, toe board, steering column bracket are removed, then the only think left should see all body mounting points on the frame underneath the car.

Yes it’s a 37. I got all that and more I think and I’m still missing something. I’ll get pics or a count tomorrow

Here is what I remember:
One in front of the firewall each side, 2 per side inside the cowl rails. Two per side at the A Pillar of the cowl mount. The ones down the side rails in the cab and at the B pillar are obvious, you may have overlooked the two that are on the frame rail that runs across the frame in front of the gas tank, then there are two (1/side) at the top of the rear wheel kick-up, and then the two in the trunk's back corners and then 2, each side under where the spare tire goes.

G'day Big Ben,
First posts, so to PackardInfo.

I invite you to include your '37 115C in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry.

ok so after looking even more i had all the bolts cut it was just stuck on there. guessing the wood and stuff was just that sticky. all of the bolts listed by yall where correct.

Big Ben, for inclding your '37 Six Touring Sedan. in the Registry.

You're to be commended for saving this Packard from an inglorious end in a scrapyard or worse. Albeit, with 440 power, 727 trans and corvette suspension. Without your intervention, it would have been turned into Toyota's or somesuch.
