Re: 1968 C10 Cowl Bolt Help
No easy fix here
IMO
1. Cut bolt with sawzall
2. Remove cowl
3. Use nut sert/ comparabel to install replacement nut
4. reinstall
or ghetto method. THis depends on whether your truck is just a driver/ beater or nice truck
1. Cut slot in tab of cowl panel where nut is loose
2. Cut tab from cowl panel
3. Remove tab
4. Since tab is now removed, you can spot weld nut to cab cowl
5. Remove bolt from nut (hopefully)
6 reinstall tab on cowl (spotweld) and use a washer where tab was cut
With method, you would not have to remove wiper arms and all of the scres retaining the cowl, but it is an "iffy" repair
