Re: rear cross sill fleetside
The rear cross sill on the '60-'66 fleetside beds have four bolts on each end and two tack welds holding them in place. There was a thread within the last week or so about this topic that may be helpful, also.

Re: rear cross sill fleetside
The ones I've seen had not only the two welds on the top, but were also welded vertically on the back.....towards the tailgate.

Re: rear cross sill fleetside
I just pulled mine apart and Lilred is correct about the bolts but at least on mine there was more than just a tack weld holding things together. There is a horizontal weld that is pretty easy to get at but the vertical weld can be a little trickyer. I ended up using a combination of a grinder/cut-off wheel and a small compact type hacksaw. Just take your time and you will be all good.
