Re: 1986 Chevy C10 SWB Step Side

Removing the bed. I tried the 8 bolts and they all turned. Removed one by drilling the head with 1/2 drill ( it should have been a little bigger). Then 1/4 ed the head with a die grinder and cut off wheel. Next the head was removed with a chisel in 1/4s, just light tap removed each quarter of the head. Then the bolt was driven out through the bottom. It took a lot to drive it out the bottom several blows. Picture of tools used is shown below. For the next one will get a larger diameter drill, so that I will do less quartering with die grinder and cut off wheel. The drilling went very easy with a high quality drill( higher cutting angle so that it cuts easier). Pictures of the parts that make up the assembly also included.
