Question Front cab mount question

We're yanking the cab off of an old '67 and while the rear mounting bolts came out o.k., the front bolts are just spinning with the nut. Can I just hit them with a sawzall and get the leftover parts out after I get it yanked?
Thanks.

Re: Front cab mount question

Have you tried holding the head of the bolt?

Some of of the bolts were welded in but I believe not all. The weld can break but I have been able to grind the bolts enough to get a socket on them.
If the bolts are good they can be worth saving as they are a 9/16" thread.

The rear nuts are welded in, but the front have loose nuts located under the carpet.
