Stepside Bed Side Panels
Should the side panels on a 62 stepside bolt on or are they as in my case supposed to be welded to the rear cross member?

Re: Stepside Bed Side Panels
Should be bolted on. The entire bed is bolted together.

Re: Stepside Bed Side Panels
That's what Id thought, but it looks like mine have been welded to the rear cross member.
 I guess I will have to cut it along that weld. |

Re: Stepside Bed Side Panels
 My old bed was also welded where the rear crossmember meets the sides. |

Re: Stepside Bed Side Panels
They are bolted and welded. You have to cut the welds when taking them apart.
