We removed the truck bed on the 1990 GMC K1500 GMT400 to paint the frame

Do you happen to know what size the bolts are for the bed. I took my bed off of my truck but lost the bolts.

Just myself and a nephew put my bed back on during restoration (8 ft bed), and this triggered the PTSD from that event. The only lift we had were 4 arms, 4 legs, and two damaged spines. ;) A quick tip: If you ever have to replace the fuel pump, you dont have to remove the bed. Just remove the left side bolts, loosen the right side bolts, and with a twoo foot long 2X4 (use the wheel well) and a floor jack, you can lift the bed enough to get to the fuel pump with little effort.

@hawkdsl Two people lifting an 8ft bed would be HARD. We just moved ours around after it was off and it wasn’t the easiest. Can’t imagine trying to get it off the truck.

@@Pack044 If you have a engine lift, you might be able to use straps in the four corners, lift it up high enough, and drive out from under it. The bed can not be slid off. Tires will be in the way. The other option would be to sit it on jack stand, and remove the tires. It can be walked off then

Excellent! Viewed many for replacing fuel pump. None had a tow-bar!!!!! All relied for camera work on ground access, so far from clear. Have lift but occupied by 71 Olds Delta88 Convertible , using engine hoist for bed removal. 2000 Silverado 2 wheel drive, short wheel base, WITH tow bar.

Brings back memories of working on replacing the fuel pump in my 1989. I seriously considered cutting out an access panel in the bed in the event of future maintenance to the pump and avoiding this 😂 never again.

Yah, like to see this guy unbolt my hitch on my 97 Chevy k1500.......I live in st Paul MN......GOOD LUCK WITH THAT! I wouldn't even consider taking off the bed or the hitch! Up here we gotta go about doing things a little different! A lot of times we just bring the disk grinder and/or. Torch and start cutting bolts off!

Ya haha, same with me, I live in Canada and my 94 has a hitch. those bolts wouldn’t even budge, got the bolts glowing red hot and the impact took them out pretty easily. However the box bolts themselves were all very easy to come out with just a breaker bar and no heat.

Removing the bed off my 89 GMC Sierra. Watched a lot of your videos and a few others. I'm having to do this in my driveway and do not have a lift like yours however I'm told incident videos where it's done with a crane / cherry picker 1 ton hoist. My question is this, none of the videos that I've watched show how they are attaching the straps inside the tie-down pockets. Is there a certain eye bolt that you used or did you just run the straps through the holes? Some people have said that picking the bed up that way could possibly cause the outer panels to bend inward. There are some videos where people actually build an H-shaped steel frame that fits inside the bed and under the inside bed rails to lift it, but I don't have the steel or welding equipment to build one of those and my concern with that would be if it would slide out from underneath the inside bed rails when lifting the bed if it were to tilt. Could anyone please make a video or at least explain what you used or how you tied the straps down in the pocket tie downs of each corner?? Thanks
