Removing a pickup bed on a budget

[/URL][/IMG]


i got this truck for 300 bucks from a barn i needed to take the bed off ..
also i dont have help im just moved to north carolina theis might help someone
you need

.saw
.drill
.cherry picker
lumber 2x 8feet by 4x4 its better than 2x4 but if not its fine
.screws and bolts

i spent about 20 bucks i had stuff around the house ..
it took less than hour
i put a collage together if you got any question just ask

 

NOt bad, I just remove the bolts and bolt my chain to the mounting points and lift.

 

A couple of friends and a case of beer usually gets it done for me!

 

****, my friends work for free, don't even have to buy the beer

 

heck I just spend the morning loosening the bolts then walk the bed off...flip it up on its tail call it good

 

FNG....Sir Spam-A-Lot

 

More work to build the tool than to just lift the bed off without it.

 

I don't think he's advertising or selling anything.

 

I think it's a great idea. At my age it's hard to find old men that can still lift.

 

Guess us North Carolina boys think alike. Just pulled a short bed off a 76 F150 yesterday using three 2x4s just like shown. Used the same rig when pulling the long bed off my 74 F100. My cost was $0 as I already had all the lumber etc.

 

I think it is a clever idea. This technique might not lend itself to a step side though. It would also be easier to have a driveable vehicle to pull away from the bed once the bed is in the air.

 

Great tip!

 

When I wanted the bed off my OT daily-I bet the teenage boys across the street a pizza they couldn't lift it. 10 mins later it was on saw horses in my drive and a large deluxe was on it's way

 

Careful on worn out beds the sides can bow out enough to come off the lift

 

and like i said before this was a solo mission didnt have any help .....when you lift a long bed up it a bit tricker to have the whole bed in the air to where you can move it around freely ...short bed and older models are way easier and you dont need anything but to bolt on and lift ....i guess everyone has there ways of doing things hahah ....

 

bro learn how to read not selling anything here ....

thats wats up man

 

Now that's brilliant!!
