front bed panel swap

[73resto]

Hi guys new to this forum. Im swapping front bed panel from 74 to 73 but having problems getting it off after taking bolts out. Do you have to take side panels off to get front bed panel off? I searched but couldnt find thread thanks for responses.

Resto, I feel the best way is to loosen both sides from the wheelwells foreward, you will need help pulling/pushing them apart or use a port-a-power/jack or something on the inside. Gently push/pull them apart, remove the old one, install the new one & put the bolts back in. Good luck on your project, Lorne
