Need help front cab to frame mount bolts

This is not my picture but will work for reference. Front cab to frame mount bolt on a 68. How do i get the bolt out as mine is rusted and the threads are stripped. I put a jack on the bolt and instead of it pushing out through cab floor it lifts the whole cab up.

I think this calls for a BFH (Big F&*^in Hammer)

I would think the floor jack would put alot more (steady) pressure than my best swing of a BFH.

Put the jack on it with pressure and try to hit the bolt area some how to knock it loose. Or take a saw-saw and cut it off under the cab and take a air hammer to get the rest out...

Sounds like its hangin up on the top washer. Try to spray some lube on the bolt to free it up and take the big fun hammer to move it.
