Fleetside bed disassembly?
Ok, I got the four bolts out of the rear cross sill; is the side panel spot-welded somewhere? Too much rust for me to see any spot locations.......

Re: Fleetside bed disassembly?
My bed was spot welded were the bed sides meet the rear cross sill. On top of the rear cross sill. I'll try to get a pic for you.

Re: Fleetside bed disassembly?
Thanks! The more I look at it, it looks like the rear sill is seam welded down the side to the outside at the area you show.....sounds like a little Dremel work is called for.
Thanks again, Paul |

Re: Fleetside bed disassembly?
I just spent last weekend removing a fleetside bed from a '63. The carriage bolts were so rusty I decided to use a reciprocating saw and I cut all the cross bars and right down the middle of the wheel wells. I will post some pics later.........................
