I finished all of the front end/suspension work on my 53 Chevy 3100 1/2 ton. Now starting on the body work. I want to disassemble the bed for ease of workability and have the left/ride bed side panels separated to lay flat. Currently, the rear cross member looks to be spot welded to each side panel. Is it okay to grind down the welds to get the cross member separated? Was it originally welded in place by the factory, or is this someone else's handywork?
