the bed sides are welded to the rear x-member, short welds that need to be
cut if your separating the rear sill from the bed. i sandblasted my bed and
did not remove the front panel from the sides. i shortened my bed and cut
the rear sill and stake pockets off the bed. when we assembled it i used
hidden fasteners for the bed rails, basically just bolted the bed x-members
down and routed the back of my trex bed wood to hide the big bolts.
we had the fenders on before we stuck the bed on my truck, set the bed onto
the bed x-members and then bolted the trex and bed strips in. links to bed
