I got some work done on the dually this weekend. I had random blocks of 2-3 hours that I had free so I could work on it little by little.

First off, there are 8 carriage bolts holding the bed to the frame. I have had 4 short bed trucks in my life, and they were all 6 bolts. This is my first long bed, so I just forgot that most long beds have 8 bolts. I spent 20 minutes looking for my handy dandy crow bar thinking the bed was rusted to the frame, then spent 2 minutes unbolting 1 bolt and cutting the other when I realized my mistake lol

There were also 4 bolts holding on the gooseneck hitch, only 2 had to be cut off and I only had to cut off 2 of the carriage bolts on the bed. All in all, not a bad deal. There is a ton of scale rust on the frame underneath the bed, but under the cab. Used 2 2"x27' ratchet straps tied to diagonally across the bed to lift the bed off the frame. Worked like a charm.
