Default Annoying bed bolts!!

Does anyone know of a kit that replaces the torx bed bolts with hex bolts?

They are not Torx bolts, they are Torx Plus size 45 they take a Torx Plus size 45 wrench, they are one time use, and not to be reinstalled.

The bed bolts for the aluminum trucks are an external torx instead of the internal torx plus our trucks have. As far as I know, that's as close as you're going to find. With that said, as someone else stated they really aren't meant to be re-used. How often are you planning to remove the bed. Body shops usually cut the heads off, lift the bed off then cut the rest of the bolt off. Then replace all the hardware.
