    i was expecting them to break. i brought my 1/2" ir impact home to break them, but my ratchet did it rather easy. they actually had bolts in them. every bed i have taken off used nutserts.:shrug:

    the last registration in the truck was new mexico circa 1991:doah:, but at least it kept the milage down:ROFL:

    Mine came off easy to. I have only taken the 81's bed off, so i thought they were all bolted on :)

    Im going to run her bedless for a while so i can work on the dents and not care if i get done enough to drive it every day :)

    mine had a bolt with a nut, usually the bolt would screw into a nutsert place in the support rail.

    i love driving a bedless truck!

    Yeah, it may have kept the mileage down, but shouldn't letting it sit that long make the engnie needing an overhaul or swap?

    usually when an engine sets the seals and gaskets dry out, but mechanically it shouldn't hurt anything.
