Exclamation Bed Question

I'm replacing the wood and the bed strips and the angle strips in my 47. I got to the angle strips and their stuck petty good to bed sides. Were they spot welded to the bed sides? If so what is the best way to remove them without damaging the paint on the outside. I'm going to see if I can pickup a spot weld cutter.

Hey, Chief

There are some good bed-threads over at the Stovebolt site - you might want to ask over there:

Thanks for pointing me to another site for help. They had about 10 spot welds per side. I was able to get them off with out damaging the paint on the exterior. By using a spot weld remover tool.
