Not really sure what you mean. The box has no welds connecting the panels. It can simply be unbolted.

Not that I recall. Just the bolts and the seam sealer hold everything together. I didn't have to cut or grind anything.

It does tuck and fold in a couple of spots near the inner bolts at the back but that's all. Good luck.

There are some hidden bolts underneath and inside. They are difficult to see.

There are two spot welds at the rear of the bed, where the stake pocket channel meets the bed floor.
