    I'm getting the cab and bed off the frame to clean everything. I've got 5 of 8 bolts out or the bed...probably just by luck. My question is the bolts have a square head...instead of a phillips/flathead/ hex bolt ect... Is there a tool specific for this or do I just need to cut them off somehow? I can't unbolt them without them spinning.

  3. If your not going to save the wood, get you big grinder out and cut them off! Its fast! Wear eye protection, gloves pants, boots! Cut them so the sparks go away from you or anything that may start a fire! Good luck hope this helps!

    No, open end wrench doesn't quite do it. I'm thinking of getting out the grinder or torch. If I can just burn off the nuts it'll be fine. Just wondered if I could salvage these bolts cause the ones I did get off are in good shape (thought maybe the traditionalists would want these).
