You can do it but it would be exceedingly frustrating. As a few of the bolts will be blocked by the cab or frame, and the bed will have to be pulled back a foot for room.

A cherry picker with truckers rope can easily lift a bed so you can drive out from underneath it. Then 6 buckets make a decent holder for it while you pull it apart. Liberly soak the bolts in PB blaster for a day or two to help. Also a impact gun, amd a mapp gas torch will come in handy.
