Help with Fleetside box disassembly

Wondering if there is any cutting involved in disassembling a 67-72 fleetside box?

Re: Help with Fleetside box disassembly

The fleetsides with a steel floor ( I don't know about the wood floor models) have a couple of welds in the back that need to be cut out.
A cut off wheel in a die grinder works pretty well for that. Other than that, it's just bolted together.
