Tried to remove the bed on a 2000 F150 to replace the fuel pump. Never did get the bed off. Ended up dropping the tank. Sheared off two T50 torx bits, broke off 1 bolt head and actually managed to remove 1 bolt out of 6 and I live in the south where people panic if they see one snow flake. If I bought a new F150 one of the first things I would do would be to remove the bed bolts and coat them with Never Seize. The alterative is to chizel the heads off and lift the bed off. The problem is after you do that you still have to get the bolt shanks out or cut the speed nuts too. Speed nuts is NOT the correct name for them when they are holding the bed down on a Ford truck. For the cost of those bolts I'd switch to stainless.
