Undo the nuts & bolts attaching to the frame and getting a buddy to help you take it off. Don't forget the tail light and license plate wires.

on my 1976 i found i was able to remove the bolts on all but three of the mounts i had to use a dremel to cut the nut in two spots on the other ones and crack em off then me and my 16 year old lifted the bed off it was easier to drop the rear bumper off first and we unclipped the harness

I used a engine hoist and a couple of straps. You can also take the bed apart piece by piece. It's a little lighter that way but you didn't say why you were removing it. You also didn't mention if it is a wood or steel floor.

I had better luck tightening the bolts till they broke off it was easier than trying to loosen them!
