They are draped over the clutch pedal, so I would not cut them with the hole saw.

So you got a dodge 60?
I feel like you mentioned this at Tuttle...

I bought a Dodge DRW Dana 61 for parts several years ago.
The other day I bought a Chevrolet Dana 60 complete minus hubs.

Went for a walk down the county road with my wife yesterday. Couldn't resist this picture.
To celebrate the Forth Of July, I cut bolt heads off. There were lots of sparks.
I would not recommend removing a box you care about like this.
It is off though.

Those exhaust tips though 
Purpose for removing bed? 
Weight reduction
Cut frame off behind shackle hangers. Install body lift.

Did the engine hoist method abuse the bed?
This is about the only way I have to pull mine
The hook chains ends into the middle bed stakes and lift did.
Plus don't forget to unscrew the fuel fillers........

I did this when I removed my bed. But I caught it before it caused any issues.
@bent72, I hooked a chain onto the 4 corners and lifted it off gently with a chain hoist. No apparent damage.
I sure wish I had some pictures from that build, they would have come in handy a number of times.
You could borrow my hoist and then have two... but I need to put my engine back in first.
It's not imminent but theory at this point. But good to know, thanks
This works reall good for us.
Two 2x4s under the bed rails and palet forks on our skidsteer!
I've also used a come along and straps at 4 corners, worked good too.

That last picture is pretty much what I did.
Driver side fuel tank was definitely shot....
This looked strange out the back window.
Took it to my buddy's shop.
Not as much excess frame as a Suburban.
A sawzall (or seawall....) makes surprisingly short work of these frame rails.
Both sides cut off.
Groovy exhaust!
Just because.
New crossmember.
