While attempting to loosen the hood lock bolt as described in the Shop Manual page 11-3, I am not able to get the bolt to turn even after using penetrating oil and a heavy duty screw driver. It probably has not been adjusted in decades. Any suggestions?

If it does let the PBlaster work as it will twist off. https://www.flickr.com/photos/advance-design_parts_co/14918262974/in/album-72157631868452754/ 1950 Chevrolet 3/4-Ton 3600 More pictures on Flickr
