Got the bed off tonight.  It was not east at all.  All bolts super rusty and the tabs were bent so they just spun, used a c- clamp to hold them.  The best though was the P.O. decided to hook up some sort of tow bar on the back to haul something.  So the original licence plate frame was welded to the frame of the truck and the bar he welded in had lag in the holes to put the socket in.  Took me a few hrs or so, but it's done now starting to clean and remove the rust.

Looks like I jinxed you.  The two beds I took off were easy.  You should have been able to get a socket on top to hold the nut from spinning.  That happened to me on a few, the tap was bent and it would spin too.

 

Glad you got it off though!  Are you going to be repainting the truck?

got my pistons cleaned up finally, but wanted to know if i should still run them they are the right size for the bore they have slight valve damage.  the one i am most concerned with is the far left one it has damage around the rim i burnished the best i could so there's no sharp edges.  what you guys think?

I am looking at moving my fuel tank to the frame from the bed.  I see that there isn't any reservoir tank on the newer 620.  I was wondering do i need that and is it difficult to do this?  Also is it better for the truck?
