I just finished the bed wood on my 71 C20 long bed. The bed can stay on the truck. you can remove all the wood and strips and it will stay in place. You just need to put a block of wood on each side in front (same thickness ad bed wood) so the bed front panel doesnt have to sit on the frame rails. The only place that the bed frame sits directly on the frame of the truck is at the rear.
