A bed question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HI! While I'm still waiting for parts ordered to finish my rear suspension job, I've just started paying attention to the bed, or the wood that's going to be going in the bed. The wood came with the truck and the strappings and nutsnbolts. However, the side rails or rail in the photo below, is it spotwelded into place. There are two bolts afixed holding/supporting the fenders. Shame that before the bodyshop coated the bed, that they couldn't have removed these as surely new ones were going into place. I was thinking of contacting the body shop and see how much they may charge to remove this crappy coating and paint it the same as the truck. Opinions?
thanks,
dne'
