    Is the other end of the rear cab mount bolts accessible from inside the cab?
    Need to replace them, but bolts just spin.
    Thanks

    Rear Cab Mount

    The cab rear mounts are behind the fuel or say under the fuel tank. The bolts are held in place buy a metal clip welded to the cab floor,(like the door hinge) this clip covers the nut and keeps from spinning. This clip has failed and that why the nut with the bolt may just be spinning. Mine were also spinning so a pair of vice grips help removing the cab mount bolt, keeping the inside nut from speeding. Used some WD 40 overnight, good luck....
