Pete M Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I mean, if you want to unbolt the bed and set it aside or slice off the cab corner, I'll be there eventually. just not soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 and I bet I could provide shipping for the door/fenders to someone in the midwest once I'm healed and can plan a drive north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeper1093 Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 Where do you want me to cut on the rocker and cab corner. I will cut it off and take a look at removing the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 this is where I typically cut for maximum rocker goodness. I use a 12" blade and slice the front first in a horizontal cut, then curve it down once into the floor and run along the floor wherever it's easiest. the rear is a bit tricky but with the bed out of the way it's muuuuch easier. so if you're going to pull the bed, do it first. I typically try to make use of the inner holes in the inside sheetmetal so as to cut the least. but then I usually have a battery powered sawzall so efficiency matters out in a junkyard. take note of the frame braces on the underside. get the right angle and you can make use of those holes too. bed has 8 bolts/nuts. the ones through the crossmember are slightly different on the longbed vs short. the gas tank J-bolts are attached to the frame, as is the ebrake bracket and tire crank mechanism. given ideal circumstances, I can pull a bed in like 10 minutes, but it'll take you a bit longer since it's your first. don't bother trying to slice off the bedside, it's waaaaay easier to unbolt it.

Jeeper1093 Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 Cool, thanks for the info. I'll work on it for you. Hope you are healing up!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I seriously doubt this will happen, but on that latest longbed I pulled ONE single bed bolt was a different size socket. I've pulled a couple dozen now and I had never experienced such a thing. but I figured I'd pass that on, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 oh, and occasionally the little plastic xmas tree from the bed shims is a little too close to the bolt/nut and you gotta get in there with a screwdriver to snap it off so the socket can get fully on there. or I imagine you could just whack the sock/extension with a hammer. that might crush it too. it's just a tiny bit of plastic after all.

Pete M Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 oh, and cut the fuel fill hoses first. before dropping the tank. I'm not sure how difficult that'll be when the smooshed bed, but I usually just get up there with that 12" sawzall blade. and the wire harness is partially attached to the bed above the frame on the drivers side.

Pete M Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 that particular skill is kinda important when you're crawling under a junkyard bed with all sorts of crap raining down on you as you hit the impact gun's trigger. when all is said and done, go to each corner of the bed and pull up so you know it's free. then get a helper and both of you grab the flares (assuming they are still there) and you should be able to pick it up and slowly make your way to the rear of the truck. it's likely it'll catch on some things as you go so be prepared. If you have 4 people you can grab the corners and it's way easier because you can pick it up higher (plus half the weight of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeper1093 Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 LOL. I have access to a tractor that shold lift the bed off the frame. What dose a bed weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 250? I forget. but 2 guys can pick it up. it's just awkward as heck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll go for the pass door and both front fenders if you are serious about this @Pete M. Make it easy on you to just bring them all to one place. No rush for me, I have plans for them but they will all be shelved for future use when those plans materialize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 if you're using mechanical means, I recommend using straps on the inner anchor points of the bed and be sure to wrap them once around whatever steel is picking up the weight so it doesn't shift as easily. (I've watched junkyards nearly ruin my beds because they didn't put any real effort into attaching the straps to the fork truck ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeper1093 Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 Okay so I've got Pete coming, when he heals up, to get the bed(I did sell the fender flare brackets), rocker and cab corner, both fenders and the passenger side door. Sound right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500 MJ Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Yes - ONLY if he’s game for it. shoot me a PM and we can work out the payment stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
