C10 delux bed removal

72'CaminoKid · 12-03-2006, 08:35 PM

my buddy is putting a body lift on his c10 delux. we cant get the bolts off the bed bc they're the dome shaped kind. nothin to grab to on the top.... we've tried welding the bolt to the bed to get the nut off, tried welding nuts to the top of the bolt so we can hold onto it with pliers, but nothin has worked. any ideas?

use a hot wrench (cuting torch) and cut the nuts off.

Like Bonnor stated torch or a good chisel.

i thought about a torch, but wont that mess up the area around the bolt? we have to put new bolts in for the new body mounts

not if your careful...or just get a grinder and cut off the either the nut or the top of the bolt then get a good punch and tap it out
