Bed Removal - Bolts?
Question for the masses...My 2014 F250 needs to have the bed removed to repair some damage from dropping a gooseneck onto it. A body shop told me that the bed bolts have to be replaced as they are a one time use. This made no sense to me, and told them so. Just put some more Blue Loktite and put them back in. Has anyone heard of this?

I didn't realize those were single use bolts either. What is a TTY bolt?

Can’t speak for my 11 but I have had the bed off my 99 several times. No issues at all I use anti seize when I put them back in and no noises or anything here. Could be different on the newer trucks but I’d doubt it.

Pulled my bed to install hitch prep. Reused no problems. Torqued to 129 ftlbs no issues. I don't think they are tty.

I had the bolts pulled to add a Line-X liner and they do have some popping in the right front bed bolt. The dealer said it was common for them to make that noise after being removed. Mine's a '13..

Bolts are TTY, see the note above or see the link to the bolts. Ford outlines these are single use in the shop manual and in the parts description.
