#2. Blue wrench (that is a propane torch's blue flame). Heat up the nut as hot as you can and then try removing it either hot or after it cools.
#3. One good trick is to heat the nut up fairly hot and then melt some candle wax (parafin) and let the heat suck the wax into the threads.

mounts gone
The frame mounts have rusted off completely, the back of the cab is "floating" not attached to the frame. Looks like welding on new ones is the way to go, just wondering what others have used, angle iron?
