best way to remove rusted rear coils

[Jblackie47803]

I just did the same thing on a '67. I wound up breaking both lower spring bolts. I used an electric grinder with 4 1/2" cut-off wheels and just cut the entire top bolt out of both sides of the frame. Bought a set of C-notch brackets and installed them to make a "new" top bolt location. I assume you're removing your old springs to lower the truck anyway, so this may be a way to go as you may need the clearance as well. I bought a complete kit with the spring retainers/hardware to install the new springs also. Used Jeep wrangler springs to achieve a cheap lowering job.
