I am thinking of taking off the fenders with the bed as long as I can get enough strong bodies to lift. Otherwise I'll leave them on the truck. The wood boards will come out first. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 43 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 43 | I just did that to my 49 3100 you will also need to remove the running board bolts to rear the fenders and support bars under rear fenders to frame. Then 2 people can lift it off

I and two others easily lifted the bed off and kept everything 'square'. Since then I have had the bed on and off a few times and didn't experience any problems at all. Just be careful......
