If they are at all rusty just cut them.
I can't remember what the style of bolt is called but they have the square bit under the cap the goes into a square hole in your bed floor sheet metal. If you round out the hole in your bed it makes re-installation a real pita
If you don't have a welder....

Then you don't care about the floor. Grind the heads off the carriage bolts.

GMC Pauls or a GM dealer have exact replacements or stainless. Tractor supply will sell you grade 5 carriage bolts.

Or thinking about that just cut the bolts with a die grinder or angle grinder.

We went to a Nascar race last year. We had 17 people in the bed of a 3/4 ton ford pickup. Also had 4 more in the cab.

Use the warehouse to get the parts you need, or you can build them yourself.
