Coil Bucket Removal

Im pulling the coil buckets off of a 77 F150 4wd. They are the taller coil buckets and have 4 bolts on the face, 2 underneath the frame rail. Ive pulled all bolts from each bucket and they are both still stuck on there. Am i missing a bolt or rivet. I even tore off the rubber bump pad and found nothing under there. Its seems as if its still attched to the bottom of the rail. Any help would be appreciated!!

There is one more....a stud with a nut going up through the frame.Its where the bump is,but doesnt run through which is why you didnt see it.
Look/feel through the hole inside the frame.

Is it dead center in the middle of the bucket? I can barely get a finger in there let alone a wrench!

Dead center.Right above the bump stop.It's a tight spot...easier with the motor out for sure.

Chris - before you scrap that frame cut off the front body mount towers and all brackets, leaf hangers, etc. Guys here are always looking for rust free ones and yours can get you some $$ to help pay for that autofab front end!
