C-Notch 87.
I need to cut a small part out of a brace that goes across the bottom of the bed. The c-notch won't slide under the bed. How do I cut it out without removing the bed? I don't think I can get a torch in the area. It is an 87.

Re: C-Notch 87.
Can you just loosen the bed bolts and then just block the bed up with 4x4's or something?
No need to take it completely off.

Re: C-Notch 87.
Like lolife99 you can unbolt the bed and lift one side at a time by yourself. It's much easier if you remove the bed completely as long as the bolts aren't rusted. Either way, I would raise the bed before cutting a brace above the C-notch
