How to remove a utility bed?

I would like to go ahead and get the utility bed off of my donor truck.

Problem is, I have no idea how. I've looked under it, and it shouldn't take too long to unbolt it from the chassis.

But how on earth I am going to remove the massive piece of steel from my truck, I have NO clue.

I'm sure its extremely heavy, and I don't have any equipment capable of picking it up from top once I unbolt it.

Any ideas?

Go fast, turn left.



If you have timbers and a couple bottle jacks you can get it up in the air with cribbing and then drive the truck out.

Couple saw horses, some cribbing and a hi-lift or 2 oughta do it. Block it up and drive out from under it then back a trailer under it and lower away.
