i'm taking mine off with a sawzall and plasma cutter so that i don't ruin the paint. not sure if that helps. i know a guy here on ck5 did a pretty good write up on removing his bedsides but can't remember if it was on a pickup or blazer.......

What do you need to know?
The forward most section will be unstable if you remove the sides, otherwise you end up with a flat bed with fenderwells over the tires.
I made that as a trailer but no use for me as a truck with no sides.
It's all bolts so it's just a matter of unbolting them.
The last bed that I took apart had some spot welds on the rear most crossmember where it joined with the bed side, just ground them off & the rest of it unbotled.
