GOT IT!! used the dremmel and only cut halfway thru (at an angle) and then tapped it just to check and it started to budge. Wrapped a couple zip ties around it so i wouldn't loose it and pulled it out with a pliers. HOWEVER... i torqued the heater plug too much and snapped the bolt. Fished...

Hey Guys, Always wanted a K5 and now I have the opportunity to buy an 85' M1009 in my area. Gonna go look at it tomorrow, but apparently it was a southern truck ("no rust"), 64k miles, and "unaltered from military." Sounds great so far. Just thought I'd get your expert opinions. Anything...
