ok guys i have these floor pans welded in, have the bottom of the cab epoxied and undercoated, now i need to get the cab frame mounts removed so i can install the new ones. do they just knock out or do they have to unscrew some kinda way?
thanks
Ben

if you mean the mounts on the frame they are riveted on so you will need to torch or grind off the heads and pop them thru
if i remember correctly the rivets are odd sise, i think i drilled the holes out to 7\16 and used grade 8 7\16 bolts and locknuts

pretty much the ones you are talking about.
it appears to be some sort of nut/washer combo that pulls down on the bushing.
I can use my plasma cutter if needed but I don't want to damage the mounts
I have a new bolt kit which by the way DID NOT come with the fine thread nuts as it should have.

Are you talking about the metal mounting ear that is riveted to the frame, or the rubber mount that goes between the frame and the cab?
I think the 65-66 mounts work different. The earlier mounts are just a bolt thru a rubber puck with washers and spacers.

the mounts to the metal ear that is riveted to the frame. the weird washers screw together thru the rubber parts. I finally just cut them with my plasma cutter. I have two new mounts mounted and 2 more half way mounted. thanks
