Anyone have an opinion on the condition of the bed? From everything i have seen both on the boards, ebay, CL, and everywhere else i am getting a good deal on the bed. Plus it is relatively close to me. Like i said it has no rust and other than a few minor dents it is in great shape.
..

From the pictures it looks to be in decent shape and if its nicer than your current one.. by all means swap it out

I feel like an idiot after reading your post on the carriage bolts. I did a bed a while ago. A few of them snapped while loosening but the majority of them spun. BTW I was severely pi$$ed off after grinding the heads/nuts off Have you tried an impact wrench? I would think it would round out the hole but it may save some time.

Thanks for the tip

I have tried an impact wrench.. I have found it spins the nuts too fast .. breaks a few and strips the rest.. So you still end up drilling or cutting them off.. I prefer to stay with a breaker bar..
