for the past 3 days (after work) I've been trying to remove and replace body bushings. Anyone have any suggestions on doing the cab corner ones?

When I did mine I had to use a Sawzall and cut it as close to the bottom of the bushing as I could.

If you cut it you lost the use of them being pressed in. Which guess that doesn't really matter. Thanks. I just may do that on those two.

Got both my gas tanks working properly now. Switch was missing the fuse. Rear tank seems to work fine, previous owner said it has a leak above 1/2 a tank. I will check it out more today while I'm doing other cleaning an painting under the truck.

For the rear cab ones you've usually got to get a wrench (should be 22 mm) on the nut and turn the bolt out. Really a pain in the a** especially with the box on.
