Removing the bed?

So I had a freezer in the back of the truck, didn,t have it tied down good enough slid forward and bent the front of the box. So I have the saddle tank, and I am looking under the truck and it seems impossible to remove 3 of the bed bolts with out taking the saddle tank out. I am thinking the only way is to grind the heads off the bed bolts? any better ideas? much appreciated. Thanks.

Grinding the bolt heads seems the way to go. BUT..you have to think about getting the headless bolts out and how to re-attach the new bolts.

Maybe you might have to drop the tank anyway....
