Finally gathered enough parts to start my project. Question is how do you go about replacing outer bed panel if floor is good?

Just wanting to know if it is spot welded to inner bed side and if possible to separate the outer from the inner.

Removing the inner bed( ribbed) from the outer (swept part) is a spot welded pain. I couldn't do it. Not to say you cant though. Spot weld drills and or grinding. The top is what did me in.

Ok. Was afraid of the spot welds being a pain. I have 4 beds to try to make one good one. One is 65.5 two are 68 and last one is late 69-71 it has the dude markings on it. Trying to just use the 65.5 and the 68’s. Thanks for info.

Depends on if you want perfect show type or frankentruck (mine) or in between. With some carefull cutting in hidden areas with maybe a plasma cutter you should be able to get something .
Good luck.
