I am trying to take apart a 67 fleetside bed. It is in pretty good condition but I want to take it apart so I can clean it all up do some small repairs.
The problem is, I don't have a welder other than gas and no air. The nuts under the bed are rusted so they won't take a socket.
I have tried torch.........no good, no room, chisel, wearing me out, prying and after 6 hours and only 9 bolts, came home and here I am asking for advice...........
Thanks,
Steve
