Anyone out there ever had to fab up some new rear upper shock mounts. I tried to take out the bolts for the upper mounts and all of them broke off in the body Wondering if anyone had some ideas on a fix?

Drill them ou, hammer them out, or weld some BPE's in

Mine were so rusted that i had to cut the heads off the bolts, then i took my air chisel and popped the welded nuts off of the back side. Then i went to the hardware store and got new nuts, bolts and lock washers and dropped the new bolt in from the top side using the access hole and a set of long angled needle-nose pliers and put the nuts on the bottom. Works great! let me know if you need some pictures and ill be happy to post them for you!
