Taking the cab off and swapping with another cab. The rear body bolts have broken the spot welds for the nut inside the cab. Any ideas? I was going to fold own the back seat and cut a hole to see if I can access the buts and secure them.

I have done that and it worked. Then when I was finished just welded the access hole back up, cleaned up the area and painted it. Never knew I was there.

I use a hole saw, then make a cover & rivet them in place. Then if you need to gain access again, simple as drilling out a few rivets.
