How to Remove a Bed Box From a GMC Pickup
Truck bed boxes come in a variety of shapes, sizes and combinations. Truck boxes are available in a single box fashion, which mounts to the bed just behind the truck's cab. Bed boxes are also available to fit on side rails of a truck bed for easy access to tools and necessities. Bed boxes are available with combined ladder racks and metal frames, which allow the driver to hold large items outside of the truck bed during transport.
