69 body mount 3
So In my quest to remove the body from the frame I thought let me take the cover off and check the #3 mount. Pulled up my seat on wheels reach in with a 5/8 socket, that did not fit 11/16 no, 9/16no what the h-ll so I got my light looked inside and some of the head on the bolt rusted away. Dremel with a 90 bend attachment and a metal cutting blade did the trick for know . Fun Fun Fun. I am a patient man and I can see that this will be a challenge. Ill get some pics.

body off
I was able to unbolt mounts 1 & 2 mount 3&4 were dremilized, onto the passenger side. Also removed ground wires while I was near mount 1. Trying to be ready for lift off in a couple of days.

That's sad to hear. Hopefully you will be able to get the threads out from the caged nut. Do you have the ability to weld a nut on top of the old bolt once the body is off?
