Hey guys, I am new here and did some searching without much in results on a project I am working on.
I am currently working on a 1987 GMC Shortbed Stepside Pickup with the wood bed. I removed one of the old drop in bedliners and discovered the wood was of course rotten and it needed to be replaced.
I thought it was just removing this skid strips and the 8 main bolts and it would pop out... but the bolts closer to the cab are blocked off by the frame and I can't get to them.
What is the best way to go about removing the boards and metal skid strips from the truck?
Do I need to remove the sides of the bed or the whole bed or do I just have to use enough ratchet swivels to reach from here to china to get in there and take out the bolts?
Thanks in advance.
