Body Mount Bolts

Are the Body Mount bolts welded in from the factory?
or did I just get very unlucky with the previous owner?
Mine are welded in at the bolt head to the floor in the recessed part.
I'm replacing the body mounts today and I'm having to grind it out with a dremel.

I think its obvious at this point that I am going about this all Wrong.
I have completely underestimated this project.
I figured that I would just loosen the bolt on a corner, then jack that corner up, then remove rubber and replace with new rubber. No big deal right?
WRONG. This sucks
Why didn't you guys warn me?

I must be lucky, my 67 and 69 were just bolted. You'll get it bro, and its definately worth it. I could feel the difference in the ride.

Thanks for the replies guys. I got the drivers side front and rear done. I'm going to relax a bit and tackle the other side tomorrow.

Air Chisel actually sounds like a good idea.
