Pulling a Long wide bed Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can anyone tell me what size and the number of bolts that hold a long bed on? And how long it would take someone with air tools to get this done?

Anything that I need to know about that may be an issue?

I've got to pull a bed this weekend and in the past I've used a torch to cut the bolt under the bed because I really didnt care about the frame or the bolt.

However, now I have to do this the "right" way.

I've got an a-frame and chain fall to pull the bed with but

8bolts hold bed on//easier to remove with tailgate off// i use cutoff wheel to grind the heads off bolts usually takes about 10minutes to grind all off them off// remember to disconnect the wiring harness on the drivers side just infront of the rear wheel there is a quick disconnect
