body bushing bolt welded to the floor

I would like to replace my body bushings but I don't want to lift off the cab. Below is the driver's side bolt from inside the cab, it has a huge weld bead compared to the small tack weld on the passenger side. How hard will this be to cut and remove?

Any other tips? Thanks...

Mine are like that too...

I've got a few almost used up cutoff wheels lying around waiting for that job.

The bolts are recessed so it would have to be a small cutoff wheel to keep from damaging the floor.

Just cut it, if you damage the bed floor a little you can always put a washer under the bolt head to cover.
