How difficult is changing a bedside?

Anyone ever done it? It loooks simple enough, a few bolts in front etc.... It feels like there might be some spot welds under the rail but Im not sure. Any tips/advice?

It Is Not That Hard I Just Put 1 On Mine. There Is 2 Spot Welds On The Rail By The Tail Gate. You May Have To Make The Holes In The Floor A Little Biger To Line Up With The Bolts In The After Market Bed Side.

Adam, my son did his own pretty straight forward as bigblock said. The only bad part if you get aftermarket bed, their really flimsy, be great if your building a drag truck losing that weight.
