mostly you just need to remove the main bed-to-frame bolts if you're taking the works, need a good socket set as well as a hammer and chisel to snap off bolts that protest .... and something comfortable to lay on the cold wet ground grin

are all of the cross braces bolted to the frame as well as the four corners?

3/4 tons have 8-bolts/ 6 bed blocks (the rear sill has the two metal brackets) and they have one floating cross brace over the frame hump that bolts only to the bed not the frame.
