There are 6 bolts. 2 up front and 4 in the rear. Theyre about 12" apart. If you can find the most rearward bolts go 12" forward. Should be a hole in the factory hitch frame for all 4. Dont forget the fuel filler neck!

also.... there shouldnt be any "pucks" bed sits directly on the frame, unless you have a body lift.

I've got a 60 and a 70. I've had then for about a year and a half. Paid 250 for the set! I still need to get a few things for the 60 but it will be ready to drop in soon.

Bed is off. I'm thinking fuel pump? And some kind of chassis coat while Its off? And replacing the brake line that goes by gas tank? Anything else yall would recommend?

I was suprised by how much dirt there is. I'm gonna power wash it when the weather clears up.

Sounds like a solid list ya got there man, maybe while its off inspect all the wiring as well, catch going wires before they cause problems in the future. if there is any aha. I think its pretty cool to see everything from above the box. How long did it take to remove?

I have Half a pint of Por-15 left. Would that work we'll? Or should I got get some cheap can stuff

I am definitely putting a new fuel pump in. This one is original and at 212xxx. If I left it it would go out within a week of putting the box back on

Aside from messing with one last bolt too long before just grinding it off. It took about an hour. Leisurely
