All the bed panels will unbolt except for the two welds at the base of the tailgate opening posts.

to my surprise i tried a couple bolts that attach the inner fender to the tub and the came right out - i doubt theyve ever been touched since 1977, next will be to see if i can get the inner fender out without having to remove the tub as well - if anyone knows feel free to comment

the reason i want to get them out is i have a couple rust bubbles that poked thru so i want to see if it started on the back panel so i can remove the rust and add some protection , too bad the inner fender is their seems it causes problems cause the rest of the bed side is fine
