One of the best and most informatively clear "How to" videos I have watched on KZbin. Great job.

[@jimbradley727]

I just bought the same style hoist at harbor freight.. you're the first person that I've run across that posted a video exactly the way I was sketching it out in my head.. was concerned about stress on the stake pockets.. Your video confirms the best and easiest configuration so I do appreciate it..

[@kpj54256]

Very Helpful. I have seen many GMC and Chevys with tank straps that will break if removed. I have always liked the bed removal option for changing fuel pumps. Great video. Keep up the good work.

[@viper2029]

Thanks man im about to change a fuel pump myself this was extremely helpful

[@michaelinmon522]

Great video! I like the voice-over instructions. Thank you for creating original content!

[@georgeboyd7492]

I had done this quite a while back on my 2002 Silverado, but I needed a refresher for my 1998 since it needs a fuel pump. It just seems easier to remove the bed than actually drop the tank. Especially when it is about 3/4 full of fuel. Thank You Again.

[@Dr_Xyzt]

Thanks! You made it nice and simple, highlighting all of the necessary parts! I had a full tank of gas when my pump went out on me. I'm gonna remove the bed and slide it back just a bit. When I get the funding for my LS swap, I'm gonna do an external carb style pump that goes to a sump in the engine bay.

[@spirit3651]

Hey, great video !!! thanks for answering peoples questions too, I was debating how to go about my fuel pump replacement on my 95 Chevy plow truck and you helped me decide to leave the bed in place and drop the tank, even though you did make it look easy.

[@keith73z28]

thanks Scotty- mt 77 dually had rusted bolts that went thru the top w/ nuts on the bottom. looks like the improved the design, I like that the weather did not seize the bed bolts.

[@tylerhull1541]

Really good, easy to fallow instructions! Good job on the video! Earned my subscription!

[@STBRetired1]

FINALLY - a video that actually tells you what needs to be done and then shows you. VERY WELL DONE. My only problem is that I have an old U-Haul truck and want to remove the enclosed box from that. I haven't figured out how to lift that size box off the frame. Maybe the Lord will give me an inspiration sometime soon.

[@jimgordon3206]

Well that looked REALLY easy. I've got a shell on mine. I think it will be a bit more trouble but better than dropping the tank. Thanks for the video.

[@patrickblair19]

This truck is so damn clean! I have to replace fuel line I've been under my truck a few times I'm definatly goin to need to use a impact and possibly some heat to remove the bed bolts, I'm hoping I can put a late 80's bed on my truck with no mods.

[@jonathansanders281]

Great video - concise, clear and helpful!

[@12dcconn]

Thank you, for the short, direct, and instructive video. An example of a well done video.

[@jriver64]

Awesome video! Your presentation and camera shooting were excellent. Thank you.

[@coryhunborg4071]

Great video man, straight to the point and no beating around the bush

[@youroldbuddy1]

Great job on video, That frame look so good for being a 90s gmc truck.

[@robertturner1575]

This video provided a wonderful preview of the job ahead of me in order replace rusted brake line. I believe I can do it with out mucking up things too much! Thank you for posting!

[@1970banjoman]

How did that work out? I have the same project ahead of me.

[@austinvickymoore3656]

Great video gonna try it tomorrow on my 87 chevy R10 to get rid of as much rust as possible then gonna paint it! great video

[@kgrabe1941]

Nice job on all. Thank you for the help.

[@orionremodeling]

I need to install cab corners. Thanks. You cleared up a Tom of mystery for me!

[@poppagsworld7294]

Thanks, I’m about to paint my truck. I was debating about doing this. Looks simple enough

[@bornaunicorn33]

great vid, great editing, great narration. way to upload quality info.

[@FineTouchLLC]

I Wil be attempting to take my 94 step side bed off this weekend getting some rust work done I believe this will help a lot thank you

[@DavidinTexas]

Best Bed removal Vid out there, THX ! WOW 10 yrs old

[@4629676]

great work! i found this video looking for instruction on how to remove the bed on a s-10 but i think basically is the same process. once again great video thanks!

[@weisell-2383]

Awesome Video !! Short and to the point Great Job !!

[@Trifiveguy]

very good i just ordered a chain hoist on ebay over the weekend doing the same with my 78 everything is unbolted 8 3/4" one harness connector for the tail lights two tank filler necks one ground strap !! thanks for the idea!!

[@830JJ]

like the video its to the point and clear cut. i just picked up an old ford F150 has a great engine but the body is rusted out so video's like yours are a great help for the do-it-yourself person. thanks alot.

[@dougmartin4303]

Great video, just what I was looking for. But I do not have a joist, and I'm going to be sourcing the replacement from a "pick n pull". Have you any idea how much the loose bed, weighs? Thanx.

[@MAXIMOGRADOadiccion]

Very nice video...its probably the same thing on a 2002 Silverado single cab short bed right???

[@sleepychris3095]

Thank god i found this video, got tired of waiting on people to help me. Might as well learn it myself

[@michaeloconnor6205]

Thank you very good tutorial.. I will be taking my 2001 3500 dually bed off tomorrow..

[@mascobe]

Thanks for posting this. I need to do the fuel lines and pump on a 95 and was wondering what I was in for...

[@StyletenNY]

You did a wonderful job.

[@ScottysDetailing]

Thank you

[@azykielfranco4583]

😱😱😱wow that good work I am Mexican but I love to look at the job well explained I do not know much English but I understand how it explains the work and thanks for sharing on time I will change the box to mine thanks and blessings😉👍👍

[@Smalltechguy]

Great video and very easy to do. I may go that route for changing my fuel pump which will be easier said than done...

[@FoodPornNetwork]

Great video!!! Thanks so much for the info as It really helped me change out my fuel pump and made it go great!

[@jsulli66]

loved it. Good straight forward video.

[@Itsfarko]

Wonderful video, staright to the point with great tips!

[@ruckustjones6088]

it looks a lot easier than droppin the tank. so I have to ask, when changin the fuel pump is it easier to drop the tank or pull the bed off?

[@uncleben4536]

Plan on doing a 2/4 drop on my 97 extended cab. It looks like it will only leave you with an inch before you sit on the bump stops. Did you have clearance issues? I still want to use my truck to haul stuff.

[@Jimmythepin]

Perfect video. Concise and accurate. Thank you.

[@iceman54814]

Great video, I'm soon to do one on my 2000 Silverado, wish me luck :)

[@rugsr]

almost broke my back getting the bed off with one other person...after seeing how easy it is using the hoist, im going out to buy one tomorrow thx

[@GalaXy808]

Hi!there mr.car guy I have a question how many bolts do we have to remove? Are they similar all he pick up bed truck? Thank you

[@willshandy12]

Excellent and very detailed helped me out alot thanks for posting

[@johnnygoodlife]

Great vid. thanks for putting it up !!

[@jpisow]

Hey great video. I was hoping to see in it where exactly the 2 spacers go between the frame and bed but couldn't and was wondering if you could tell me which two of the eight bolts these spacers go with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

[@JoseSanchez-df8hb]

Great video 👍 needing these instructions in 2020

[@ScottysDetailing]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jimervin1637]

Thanks so much. Then could a guy install temporary tail lights to drive the truck to a body shop for cab corner replacements?

[@NoBs48]

Hey I have a 93 gmc ext stepside and a 93 Chevy Silverado ext fleet side . I wanted to know if the beds interchange and what problems would I come across if I was to swap them out

[@zrxdoug]

Thanks! This was really nicely done.

[@davidtrendsjr4402]

Very helpful got it done first time I’ve done this

[@Darren87aero]

Quick and to the point, thankyou!

[@jayrichmond2325]

very good video, but you already had the. rear bumper off. Did this need to come off or was it just for better video?

[@mudgrippmike3489]

nice video.. i bet the little orange straps were in a bind at that angle, but u did it!

[@351cleavland]

This did help. I l will use the bed hoist idea that was nicely modeled in your video. Thanks.

[@Hectorson3]

Thanks for the vid, I'm gonna tackle my fuel pump on my 1993 Silverado, now this should be easy!. Thanks again!

[@danielward2318]

Thanks tons. I was having trouble finding that one by the tank :)

[@victorchmura2216]

Straight and to the point love it

[@tomcox7957]

Thank you so much I really enjoyed the video it was very informative and very clear

[@HookEmTexasHorns]

Thanks for the vid. My issue is the fuel pump; I've taken the fuel tank out before on this same problem (FP) & want a different way. I figure having a solidly held tank is easier than one that's wobbling around when I try to press in the new unit (BTW, I got one brand new for $ 90.00 + S&H where AutoZone is $ 270.00 & Amazon.com is about $ 203.00). One of the benefits I'm looking forward to is the ability to take the truck to the car wash & clean areas that haven't seen daylight for 10 years.

[@josee1299]

Hi I like to know if I can replace a short bed for a long size bed on a pickup truck that is suppose to have a short bed?

[@kennyhammerlund9024]

Giving the socket sizes is really nice thanks

[@ericmcguire5469]

I'm thinking I'll be doing this with mine, the braces that run side to side are rotted out. And I've seen people use wood as those braces but I think I'll just buy some replacement ones, if I could find a differant bed I'd be happy

[@MrCastro760]

Awesome! you made it look easy!

[@rogerbeers2939]

Very helpful took just over an hour for me.

[@xBEASTxxMODEx]

hey i've been looking for a video on the cab mount bolts, do you have one or know of one? im planning on doing a 3" body lift to my 94 k1500. thank you

[@Erix7810]

That underbody is so clean.

[@GarnetGoldGunner]

Thank you so much. My Chevy is a 94 but its an 8 foot bed so there might be a few more hidden bolts. Would have taken me all day without this.

[@stefiychurchill2440]

Awesome! Thanks for the video guys.

[@91stormvet]

Solid Info. Thank You!

[@MrMuddklown]

thanx you made my day so much easier!!!!!!

[@lopezoscarcopado]

Is this the same process for my 1977 c10 truck or its more simple?! Thanks!

[@blkj1973]

This truck has never seen a winter. Can you tell me where I may find replacement beds online?

[@chavesjason]

@ScottysDetailing I need to replace the fuel pump in my 88 Chevy, some have told me it is easier to remove the bed than the tank. I noticed that the rear bumper was removed in this video. Do I need to remove it, or can its stay if I go this route?

[@SuperSharpBlue]

Great! I didn't realize how easy it was

[@jessebanke]

I notice you didn't mention the bolts above the spring, I just did a bed lift by myself without any engine hoist, what fun

[@GabrielMorrisGuitarMan]

Verry helpful video, thanks.

[@elizabethgrace4743]

My question is can you put a chevy 1500 step side bed on a 1994 GMC sierra 2500?

[@customer3060]

Just subscribed big help thanks man

[@Claps1775]

What about using a engine hoist/cherry picker? I want to switch beds on my s10s. Would this work fine?

[@kadenkennedy2691]

This was great man

[@cuevasedward]

will a 3door 6 1/2 bed fit a standard short bed

[@drewv9520]

Hey man just curious on how u attached the straps to the roof to lift the bed off Im wanting to do it the same way just want to make sure it is strong enough to hold it

[@ScottysDetailing]

Just use the holes on the bed right underneath the square channels.

[@percythrillington5853]

damm, thats a good video. explained everything!

[@azizwirzman5596]

Thanks for the straight forward explanation

[@garrettknight8550]

Do you think we can pick the bed up by hand with 4 men? Or is it too heavy?

[@rc6147]

Well done video. Thank you

[@KaotikRC]

This is what I'm doing today on my '95.... Doubt it'll go quite so smoothly LOL but thanks for the help. At least I know what tools I'll need now

[@ShaunGibson84]

Great video!

[@briansansone]

well.... that sure does look easier than dropping the gas tank for pump replacement. Safer too, as far as dealing with a tank full of gas. I didnt realize it was so easy to do. Could 2 people lift off the bed and set it aside?

[@tomthumb6307]

Do this in Northern NY and it's nice to have long sleeves long pants face shield AND safety glasses plus a decent respirator. Reason being you are gonna be catching much of the 20 lbs of rust, crud , dried mud and other debris right in your face. You're going to get dirtier than you ever imagined if you don't have a lift.

[@DropBhombs]

Tom Thumb im in buffalo going through that exact same bullshit today lol. no lift :(

[@tomthumb6307]

Did my buddies yesterday. I handed him the air tools and he did the ugly so I feel your pain........ yea got really lucky though only had to cherry the back too. Remember, if you plan on keeping it a while spend a few bucks. Get in there with blunt air chisel , 4" stainless wheel on grinder and if you have one needle scaler. Knock the flaky stuff off , blow, roll, brush the POR 15 on the frame. It will last for years if it isn't already toast. It's s project though not a day job. Lots of beer decent a compressor are a must. Lots and lots of beer tends to draw the friends then you Tom Sawyer their asses off👿

[@DropBhombs]

Tom Thumb how did you get the back 4 bolts out? thats the only problem I'm having right now. and mine is a 94 and ha only seen 2 winters since its a c2500. 2wd.

[@tomthumb6307]

should come straight down. . we used a 6"wobble extension on impact. rearmost /pair couldn't get good angle on and flex joint wasn't helpful. since it was a today away box being replaced I cut bed open & cherries it. if you haven't done it by now heat it from the bottom it'll come Right out ok. wire loom at least on mine is 3" away from bolt on the inside back inside of the rear bed Cross brace . you should be ok heating that bolt. keep fire extinguisher handy just in case

[@100InchHammer]

I have a 95 F250. I sprayed the nuts underneath with Blaster but it looks like it would be easier to grind off the heads inside the bed. I ground one off and the bolt fell down about 2 inches. My question is...will the anti turn part of the bolt (the oblong shape) go through the lower portion of the bed channel or is that just a round hole?

[@louistyson-noaafederal1178]

Very good info! Thanks!

[@MadballBaby]

Str8 to the point 👍🏾Maryland showing a little ❤️

[@hussein5743]

Is it the same way for the 2003 ford f150?

[@levilucyshyn939]

7 with Canadian rust and 10 year old battery impacts
