Need Help w/ stubborn body bolt
So i started removing my body from my frame yesterday and one of the body mount bolts is free spinning. I cut the head off it today so I could get the body off, but I need to figure out how I am going to get the old bolt out and the new bolt in. i figure a few of you guys have delt with this before and can stop me from doing some thing stupid.
Thanks!

Re: Need Help w/ stubborn body bolt
Little more info: it's on a 83 c20 and it's the drivers rear cab mount that's giving me the run around.
I thought about cutting a hole in the floor, but I'd rather not.

Re: Need Help w/ stubborn body bolt
I had to cut the floor for both of the rear cab mounts. I didn't reweld the nuts back in though. All I did was clean them up real good and after I got the cab and frame aligned, tightend the front mounts first, then hit the rears with the impact gun. jim

Re: Need Help w/ stubborn body bolt
I was hoping some one would have a magic solution that didn't have me cutting up my cab. Oh, well, guess i'm getting out the wizz wheel tomorrow
