F8 truck bed removal
Saw this thread this am and read it over to see what the various techniques were that were used to do this removal. Here's a variation on those posted:
I backed my double-axle car hauler trailer up to the rear of the truck and used a hand winch to pull the bed off the truck. When the bed was at the teeter point I put a hand made 4-wheeled (4" swivel wheels) dolly under the end so that it could ride on the dolly. We then continued to pull the bed off onto the trailer until it fell free of the truck frame. Continued to pull it to the front of the trailer until it was balanced over the trailer wheels. Took two of us to do it. Worked well with no problems!
Regards,
Jim
