Re: Remove Front Cab Bolts

Removed all the body mount bolts on my 69 Blazer to replace all body mounts this past weekend and finished up today. All were tack welded as they were on my 71 Blazer that I restored 5-6 years ago. The bed bolts are easier to grind the welds away with a 3" air grinder with a cut off wheel in it. The front mounts on the "cab" section are much more difficult as they are recessed deeper. I believe that the bolts were tack welded at the assembly plants so that they didn't push up when the body was set down on the frame.
