How to remove a bed off a ford ranger?

Remove bed from a 1993 ford ranger?

• Answer:

  Remove 6 bolts holding the bed down from the top with a Torx Bit. Seperate the connector to the tail lights near rear bumper, Remove 3 screws holding gas filler Hose to bed. Get 2 people to help you lift the box off and set it on the ground or ? Wear gloves as the bottom edge is sharp. If the bolts break off, chances are you will need to replace them and the extruded nut that they fasten to. I had to drill the head off of one of the bolts when I removed the bed from my '89 Ranger. The bolts are 15 bucks a piece from Ford and the extruded nuts are 10 bucks a piece. I couldn't find the nuts anywhere else, but I used hardware store bolts for $1.30 a piece and replaced all 6 as the threads on the original bolts were badly rusted. On a 97 Ford Ranger, Do everything they say, except you also have to remove the two mud flap brackets. You dont have to remove the tailights Just disconnect the connector at the rear of the bed on the left of the licence plate,near the bumper
