Cab Mounts/ Bolts

The bolts point up from under the truck and thread into a captured nut.
If its the nut thats spinning, the front nuts can be accessed by cutting an access flap into the side of the cab support. The rears I think you need to get to from up top. Mine came out so I didn't need to explore cutting for the rears.

any pic of the style body mounts used on 73-87 still cannot understand what is going on.

Re: Cab Mounts/ Bolts

for three days prior to removing the bolts i sprayed them twice a day with PB Blaster then i would loosen a bit then tighten then unloosen a quarter turn and back.. all the way out these things were bad and i was able not to spin the nuts that way

They should come out..I'm in the Northeast, I just put a pipe on my wrench and pulled them out..They twisted a little but they came right out with about 3 pounds of rust.
