bedside removal.
So everything is unbolted and it looks like the only thing holding it on is a small spot weld in the corner from the bedside to the rear cross sill. So if I cut it off, is that all it takes? Or is there something I'm not seeing.
This is silly.

Re: bedside removal.
The 4 really rusty and not all that easy to get to with any of my tools, bolts? Yes, I think I got them all.
Thanks, I will grind and see what falls off.

Re: bedside removal.
I've heard there are two welds on each side. One on top of the rear sill (horizonal)and one at the bottom (vertical).

Re: bedside removal.
Is there any way of marking those welds to ensure proper re-alignment when you put i back together? Like drilling an 1/8" hole through it to align them back up with?
