Front bed panel question

[mikewarme]

Hey guys,

So my truck is all done except I can't stand a defect that the front bed panel has. My truck is a long bed with steel floor of coarse I had It sprayed with linex. Am I making a mistake attempting to remove the panel and replace it? I realize that the bed sides need to be spread apart a touch. Who has done this on a finished truck?

Thanks!

Mike

I think if you remove one whole bed side you will be able to remove the front panel. You can't spread the bed sides enough without removing almost all the bolts on each side to do that, if that makes sense

That's what I was afraid of :-(. I most likely will do more damage than good.....
