should be a little access panel in the fenders look towards the back and youll see the cab mount itself. shaped like a football. its held on with a screw. take the screw out and it should remove. and the bolts right there.

Open hood. Cab mount acess panel will be located on bottom of firewall below your master cylinder. Look for tear drop plate that's held on with screws. Good luck.
