Bolts holding bed on 87 MJ

[pitbull4x4]

How many bolts are holding the bed on? I'm going to take the bed off and fix the rust and holes.

Theres 8 bolts holding the whole thing on. 4 in front, 2 in the middle, and two in the back. Just did this awhile ago and the biggest tip i can give ya is to use lots and lots of PB Blaster so the bolts don't snap off. I had half of mine snap off! :fs1:

Anyone know where that pic was that showed the locations? I found the image that highlights 4 of the bolts, but not the one that had all 8. :(

I did this "layout" with a swb...........This 'picture' of the stud/bolt locations??

 

 

Not really a picture, like a photo :hmm:

Isn't there 8 bolts?

 

The one I remember seeing was a photo of a bare comanche frame and someone had drawn colored dots on it with microsoft paint.

Yea, that's a better picture of the bolt locations, I did my drawing for something else, and measured the locations, for reference, and if you count the X's, there are 8 of them, 4 studs and 4 bolt holes.
