Re: HELP with bed sides
Grind the couple/few spot welds from the lower rear door pillar.
Grind the welds attatched between the rear of the bed and the floor. Unbolt them. |

Re: HELP with bed sides
Just wondering what is it you are trying to do by seperating all of it!

Re: HELP with bed sides
i will post some pics. In the last three days it is down to just the tub. It's the up side to being layed off. Doors and front end came off nice but cutting bedsides bolts off has taken a beating on the grinding wheels.

Trying to turn them out is what rounds out the bed holes. Try this thread, maybe it'll have something to help. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=156022 |

Can you see the 'cut out' section on the replacement quarter? Just above the rocker panel. Tough to see but that's a before shot/trial fit. That's where you'll find the spot welds. |
