box removale

[petersondarren]

i found a new box for my truck and i wanted to know if there were any tricks to make things go faster i heard the bed bolts are a pain and to just cut them off anything would help

When i switched mine 1/2 came out and 1/2 we had to cut.
Just hit them with an impact wrench and they should come right off then just make sure your all unconnected and lift it right up.

Bolts in the bed, impact of if they wont come out, grind the heads off. Disconnect wiring, and fuel filler and pull it off.

Get about 6 dudes and it is real easy, just make sure everything is disconnected before you yank a gonad!! Oh PB blaster sprayed on the bolts a few days before removal helps a lot!!

ok got the box off with some help from the welder, hot wrench, grinder, and pbr. I got some bolts off of ebay but i couldnt get one of the bolts out of the clip so i had to cut the clip off, and i wanted to know were i could get one of the clips. Am i going to have to go to ford

[ford_trck]

That or find a nut that will thread into the bolt and weld it where the clip was
