Stupid huck bolts. Have to grind or cut them off unless you have a ridiculously expensive special tool to remove them.

Post #47 in this thread starts a M-1078 build... They used an abrasive cut off disc. This is really good reading when you get time. It will give you lots of good ideas.

If that is all I'm very lucky. Their all bolts ! Looks like the bed has been off before ?

I agree with previous posters. A cutting disk or torch is your friend. When I got my parts truck the military had started removing the bed and a lot of the bolts were already torched off. I continued the trend and torched the rest off. It was quick and easy. The 5-tons are a bit trickier with the subframe and trans cooler, but even they aren't too bad.
