Default Taking off the bed

Will it be easier to just drill out the bolts holding the bed to my frame? I am having a pain in the *** taking en off. I got one, tried another and got fed up a d thought I'd ask and see if you fellas had done it. I am in the process of building a flat bed, and next step is taking off the bed. I have a 1990 F150 single cab long bed. Any help is great!

Use either an impact or a long breaker bar with a pipe extension

Breaker bar is your best bet here as well as a lot of PB Blaster, and heat.

Just keep working them back and forth and they will break loose.

Lol you don't need to worry about spark hitting your gas tank Not a chance of any explosion, unless maybe your are cutting directly into it with low fuel in the tank.
