Re: "BUILD: 1970 C10 LWB--->SWB “Jumping Cholla”

I wasn't gonna do anything with the bed for a while, but I needed a change of scenery from bodywork. It's only going to get warmer from here out in Phx (90*ish in the garage already) so I decided to break down the bed so I can get it cleaned up and shortened. I only got (4) carriage bolts to come off cleanly. The rest took a combination of drilling, grinding, punches, and a BFH. The best approach was cutting a slot in the top to use a flathead screwdriver to hold the bolt and impact the nut off from the bottom, but that didn't always work out as some the bolts couldn't get a cutoff wheel on them. Overall, it took around 5 hours to break the whole bed down. If anyone needs the fiberglass toolbox insert that comes with the LWB toolbox option, hit me. The one I removed is in good shape.
