I am in the process of completely removing the bed from my 1965 C10 Fleetside truck. I have removed all of the wood and I am now trying to disassemble the bed sides from the rear crossmember under the tailgate. Are the bed sides just bolted to the rear crossmemeber are is it welded together somehow? Any advice on how to disasseble these parts would be appreciated.

There are two stich-welds on each end of the rear main cross sill...one on the top of the sill and one on the front face. With a cutting wheel in a die-grinder, they can be scored and the bed sides can be removed from the rear main cross sill.

There are also four shoulder bolts on each end of the rear main cross sill, securing it to the bed sides.

Thanks Tony. One other question. Is there any way to remove the tailgate without removing the bed sides?
