A part mounting device is provided for mounting a front end module onto a vehicle body. The device comprises a frame structure vertically movably mounted on a carry truck through a lifter, a holding device capable of holding the front end module onto the frame structure, a positioning bar slidably disposed on the frame structure, and an actuator capable of moving the positioning bar on the frame structure. Positioning pins are movably held on both ends of the positioning bar and engageable with positioning openings formed in a front end of the vehicle body. When the positioning pins are brought into engagement with the positioning openings, the frame structure is moved to a position to establish a positioning of the front end module relative to the vehicle body, and when then the actuator moves the positioning bar in a given direction, the front end module is moved toward the front end of the vehicle body together with the frame structure keeping the positioning of the front end module relative to the vehicle body.
