79 gmc truck bed replacement

[Viperacr]

I just bought this truck and am wondering how easy/hard it is to replace the floor of the bed. Is it spot welded together or bolted?

The braces are welded to the under side of the floor. If you buy a new floor or get a used one just change it out as a unit. Yes new floor comes with braces welded on.

wow I thought it was welded to the sides and fender humps etc...is that just caulking/sealer around the edge?

there are two welds right where the bed sides met the floor .. in those corners.. its not hard to pop them with a good shisel and hammer then just have them re welded once you replace the wood floor.. the rest of the bed is held together with 9/16 head bolts

is this a stepside w/wood floor or fleetside w/steel floor?

[Viperacr]

This is a fleetside with steel floor. I actually picked up a bed yesterday for $100 so I can remove the floor and replace it with the one I have. Thank you all.

yes i was referring to the steel floor fleetside
