The passenger side number 2 body mount spins, but it sounds like something underneath is also spinning, so it doesn't loosen up. Anyone have a way to get the bolt off?

I so far have the #1,2,3, and almost 4 mounts loose on the driver's side. What do you do if one breaks off or strips?

Sounds like the captive nut on the frame is spinning. You probably will have to torch the head off the bolt. Once the body is off you can replace the nut.

Is there any chance I'd be able to use a die grinder (have that...don't have a torch) to cut the bolt head off? Any other possible alternatives?

If you can get to the bolt head with a die-grinder, sure. Just get a metal cutting disk and it will cut it in seconds. The trick will be to reach the bolt.

Maybe you can reach it with a saw-z-all???

I used a flexible shaft grinder from Harbor Freight with a carbide bit to cut the heads off three of the body bolts on my '70.

Just used a Harbor Freight 3" grinder and it worked great! First time using it (Birthday present in March) and I'm VERY happy with it. That #2 mount is no longer a problem (for now).
