Also you forget to put in chop a hole in the bed to replace it.

Beside it is not a easy decision and a lot of stuff has to be considered and the situation has to be looked over good.
Ever truck is different.
A person has to consider several things before he makes a decision on it.
Year make and model and what kind of bed?
Some with fifth wheels and campers and all sorts of other stuff on or in or around or on top of bed.
Rusty bed bolts and fuel tank straps rear bumpers and trailer hitches hooked to bed..

Also what tools and jacks and lifts and people helping exc.
It's a 2001, extended cab, short bed. All the bolts (bed and strap) look to be in about the same condition. I have all kinds chainfalls, come alongs, and rigging to be able to pick the bed off if nobody is around to help me. No 5th wheel, and not much else in the way of pulling the bed off.

That's the way I'm leaning. I've done it the other way, so if I pull the bed off, I'll know for sure which one is the bigger pain in the ass. That way I can travel back in time and tell myself which way to do it....
