It can be done but the bigger problem I had later was when I put my bed back on the next to last bolts were tough to get the nuts on. Had to get my wife with a thinner arm to get the nuts started and then I could reach them with a wrench. Boyd's makes a mounting kit with threaded pieces you bolt to the frame that eliminates that issue. In retrospect, I would have tack welded the nuts to the inner frame or something. If I ever pull the tank I will probably do something to have a nut you don't have to hold with a wrench.
