Is taillight panel removable? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Howdy folks,

At some point a previous owner backed my truck into something, and banged the crap out of the driver's side rear. I've been able to pull out some of the big crease in the bed side, but can't make any progress on the taillight panel.

There is a slight gap between this panel and the bed side panel, which makes me think it can be removed, possibly even unbolted. A previous owner filled that gap in a few spots with body filler, and as I was digging it out I found about 4 spots where it was welded. If I cut through those welds with my angle grinder, what else do I need to do to pop this sucker off?
