oh clinton...... lol

well started something this evenging since daytona was postponed until tomorrow afternoon only had one snag in doing this because the bolts were rusty as hell.....




the bed bolt on the drivers side up next to the cab was eaten into by rust and broke off about mid way so gotta get it outta there and replace the clips on the frame.... oh well got it this far gonna run down and spray the frame off before i rust reform the frame....

how hard was it lifting off, can 1 person do it? lets hope you dont need the bed of your truck soon

 

me and my cousin lifted it off.... i'd say it's about 200lbs... not exactly sure it's more awkward than anything else..... got my tails electrical taped to the bumper for in the morning so i can go spray the frame off and then gonna rust reform it and then lift....

 

Nice man! Let me know how you make out!

 

will do.... it just sucks about the one bolt.....

 

It happens man

 

where can i order the clips at? if i can find them i'm gonna go ahead and replace all 6 of them....

 

Do you mean the speed nuts that clip on the frame?

 

on the bed bolt part of it part 3 that is in the picture....

 

Damn that sucks about those clips. Try NAPA. They usually have stupid **** like that believe it or not.

 

or the dealer, and LMCtruck sells them

 

yeah already looked at lmc truck they want 10 bucks for one of them

 

Get them at the dealer, they shouldnt be too much. I will check my garage for some tomorrow. Which ones do you need? There are two types under there for the bumper and bed

 

the ones that the t-55 bolts screw into to hold the bed to the frame... my mechanic thinks he knows someone that may have some.... i really cant see paying 10 bucks for them if i dont have to....

 

If I get time from running errands tomorrow I will look in the garage and text you

 

cool hopefully i find one tomorrow that dont cost an are and leg.... if i cant find one would it be alright to run it without the one bolt until i can get one from you or parts store?

 

Yeah one missing wont hurt, just make sure the corners are bolted down well

 

then once i cut the old one off i'll move one to the corner and put the new one in the middle.... the one that broke was over the the gas tank closest to the cab....

 

So to do a lift the bed does not have to come off , but up is that right.? unless you are going to rustproof or sound dampen am I thinking correctly or am I way off hahaha.

only thing I ever lifted was weights and jacked up the rear ends of my chevelle and torino
