But the drivers side upper bolt and nut is not budging. So the hot wrench and grinder will probably be used on that one too.
I keep telling myself how much fun this is. 
But progress is being made!

I somewhat recently dropped my truck. The front end went OK because I did a rebuild like 12 years ago and did a refresh to it while it was apart.
That back I had never touched and was an absolute nightmare that made me wish I had a set of torches!!! And this was a south carolina truck, frame just has surface rust, but those rear coil spring bolts/perches were damn near rust-welded together!
My impact gun couldn't do squat with this, and I saw why after I had it cut out (this was the DS upper spring bolt)...
