I am remvoing onl bed in prep for rebiuilding. The angle strips seem to be welded or attached to the side of the box. How do I get these free from the sides?

The bed angle strips are spot welded to the sides. You will have to drill out the spot welds to remove them.

Having removed about a thousand spots on a recent project I strongly recommend the Blair roto broach type tool.

It cuts a circular plug that is easy to control and fast.

Wisner955 has the straight skinny. Invest in a spot-weld drill and take care not to distort the bed side material by prying/twisting/pulling the angle strips away from the sides!


Everything is different now...
