Bedsides bolt/weld questions
« on: January 19, 2015, 02:24:42 pm »
Thread resurrection - Does anyone have pictures of the welds by the tailgate?  I need to do this exact same thing, and the link in this thread goes 404 on me.

Really what I'd like to find if anyone has pictures are what it takes to separate the inner vs. the outer weld wise. 

Thanks in advance!

Remove the paint and seam sealer at the bottom of the rear post where it attaches to bed floor and welds will be visible.when reinstalling make sure everything is squared up before you weld
