I really don't see how you can cut the cab mount out and leave in the floorpan without making a mess. My experiance told me it was EASIER to replace them both. Replacememnt panels aren't expensive, and if you are going to tear up the truck, might as well do it right.
PS I didn't have to remove gas tanks or any other mounts to do this...

I'm replacing all the bushings so the gas tank had to come out so that I could access the bolt heads of the rear cab mounts. I took the seat out just to have room. It's a lotta work but it's coming together nicely so far.
