Default 39 big truck motor mount removal

First post. Doing frame off on a 39 big truck flathead 8 how do I disassemble the motor mount? Does it thread together from either side of the frame?

Big bolt from the bottom up thru the water pumps with a cotter pin and nut on top is all it should be. welcome to the barn, lets see the truck !

It's just so congealed together that I couldn't tell if that's how it came apart. So I just have to pound the old bolt down through the bushing?

Buddy wanted to do his and he was same age as the truck, born in ‘39. Had bad memories of standing on his head, back in the day to work on them, so I helped engineer and complete a tilt front end. Know it’s sacrilege but there is no hassle doing under the hood stuff.
