Rear Wheel Wells: Hard to take off? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How hard would it be just to take off my rear wheel wells? I want to take them off and have them bead blasted and the insides painted gloss black. (I'll worry about the outsides later.) Do they just unbolt from the bed, or...

from what i have seen on mine, they appear to just unbolt, but mine have a sealant bead on the inside of the bed also.

Cool, I'll prolly take them off this weekend and clean them up real good. That should give my truck a better look, when people look at the wheels. (Nice clean wheelwell behind the nice rims will look NICE)
