i havent done it yet, its been too damn cold. but i am going to go down to my local Rockies Ace Hardware when i do and get some grade 8 bolts. can't imagine they would need to be longer than 2.5-3 inches by like a 3/8-1/2 and all the nuts to match.

[MENTION=51418]zolson[/MENTION] we had beautiful weather today so we cut out the bolts with both a torch and matabo saw, then pulled off the bed

Then I put the new rear tank in with the fuel pump already installed

I had sprayed some bed liner on the bottom of the tank for rust control

And we tested it so it worked and bolted the bed back down. We used hex head grade 8s to bolt her but it's fine since i just throw a 4 1/2ft by 8ft sheet of treated plywood on the bed floor.
