1995 Bed Removal Help?
So my 1995 dodge dakota's rear frame where the bumper hooks on to is beat to ****, due to some uninsured *******, pics; http://imgur.com/a/g0NgG , and i need to take the bed off to beat it to **** w/ a hammer, might use a torch too, but i'm only 17 so i'd have to use the little pocket torches, so anyone have a good video or something that shows me how to take the bed off, do i have to drop the tank too? it's far enough away i'm not too worried about blowing it up, plus i never have but an ounce of fluid in there b/c i'm so damn poor :P lol.

its simple... remove tail lights, remove disconnect wiring unbolt fuel filler neck, 2 bolt up front 2 infront of wheel well 2 behind it 2 in rear , a case of coors and 4 guys makes it easier to lift off but 2 people can do it..
probably eiser to just get a big *** adjustable wrench and bend it back then beat it to hell

Yeah if it weren't for that upper crossmember, and i'm sure the tire rack helped a bit, my frame would've been completely destroyed. You know what really pisses me off? The frame people quoted me $800, saying they charge $80/hr, there's no flipping way this is going to take 10 hours, especially w/ their machines! I am 17, so i'm sure they were trying to rip me off for a few bucks, thinking i wouldn't do it myself! HA! I was just curious :P

I'm pretty sure the price they quoted you included putting your truck on their machine and making sure the entire frame is straight. It's a pretty involved process and you might want to watch it done sometime before you go accusing them of trying to rip you off. Have you priced a frame machine? How do you think the shop pays for it?
