How hard is it to disassemble and reassemble a 70 LWB chevy truck bed? I want to take it apart and prime everything then reassemble. Does it just unbolt, or is there any spot welds that need to be removed? I want to leave the sides as a unit so not to deal with any welds.

Thanks

One of the fine vendors here, Brothers, has made a photo-site that shows fender and bed revoval, disassembly, and reassembly. Check it out below...and good luck fixing up your bed.

There are spot welds on the rear of the bedsides at the reenforcements where they meet the cross member and the bed floor. They are pretty simple to grind off.
