Do I have to?
I want to do some work on my truck and am wondering if the box will stay on the truck if I remove the bedwood. I dont have lot of room to work on the truck and the bedwood needs to be changed out anyway.

Re: Do I have to?
The bed should stay on, there are 4 bolts i believe that bolt down through the cross member to bolt to the frame. you may want to replace those after the wood slats have been removed.

Re: Do I have to?
I have only done one, but yes you can the wood without taking off the bed, but the if all the wood is remove at once the bed will drop the thickness on the wood onto the cross sills.
What I did was remove all the wood except one slat in the middle to keep everything up. I inserted the new wood on both edges drilled and coated. Then I removed the last old slat. I then put in all the new wood. If your wood is not precut, you may be pulling pieces in and out till the holes are drilled. Once all the holes are drilled and wood is treated then added the metal strips and bolts.
