Re: removing bed

I took mine off by myself. Most of the wood was already out and it had been off before so the bolts came out easy. Once I had the bolts out that hold the bed down I hooked up ratchet straps to my engine hoist and lifted it off. I just pulled the truck out from under the bed and set the bed down. Then I tipped it up onto a piece of plywood so I could get at the rest of the rusted bolts.



The straps are on there now to hold the bed up when it gets windy.

Re: removing bed

Looks like an old triumph behind the bed.
