I.m trying to remove the cab from my 42 1.5 ton. I've removed the two front mounting bolts but, I can't figure out how to remove the rear mount. It appears there is only a single mounting point in the rear. There is one bolt comimg up through the cab floor support and eight bolts going down through the support to the underside of the cab. I've removed the nut from the center bolt but the cab won't budge. I suspect the bolt may be frozen to the wood insert in the floor support brace. Any advice? Thanks in advance for the help.

eal, on my 46 there was two bolts behind the seat, that came up though the floor. One on each corner. I think they had springs around it(if I remember right).

Check out the Tech Tips. There is an artical there on cab mounts, should be what you need.

Thanks for the response guys. Apparently the 1.5 ton military Chevy is different from the civilians. The tech tip diagram does not match my cab. The front mounts are similar but there is a single, center rear mount. I've removed all of the bolts that appear to be holding something and placed jacks under the rear corners to provide uplift pressure. Nothing will budge. I'm afraid to use too much pressure though and distort the cab, then I will have a real mess. Any other suggestions would be helpful.
