Grab it with vise grips and unscrew it! You might want to go under the truck and clean the threads off and spray them with penetrating oil first.

I'd try locking two nuts together to unscrew it. I did the vice grip thing and really chewed mine up. It also took a while doing that way. With two nuts you could use a ratcheting wrench.

It's got threadlocker on it, dunno if penetrating oil would help. Some very slight (VERY) slight heat might. I've always just vise-gripped 'em when they wouldn't come out otherwise.

The thread locker gets pealed off on the threaded section that sticks out below the floor pan and the threads get pretty rusty

I just used an e-torx socket and zipped it right out of my '90

I'll have to look at mine.... I don't think it has a torx shaped end on it. The OP's picture doesn't look like it does either.

There was definitely a torx end on mine

I’m going to try this tomorrow, with the vice grips it gets tighter going both ways.

Force it out. If that doesn't work. smack it with your purse!
