Check out:Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums - View Single Post - 94 Ranger Pickup Box Removal.

You'll need a T55 torx socket for the bolts.

As far north as you live, probably ought to start a week ahead of time marinating those bolts from underneath with PB Blaster. Go out and hose em down with penetrating oil each evening.

even then, you might need to find a friend with a torch. Also remember, the tank is down there..... I cut the heads off the bolts last time i did one.

I replaced mine with hex heads with a standard thread and new tinnerman nuts both from McMaster Carr. The bolts at the dealership were outrageous, no surprise there. The tinnerman nuts just clip onto the edge of the frame.
