there is 8 bolts, 4 on each side that run up the middle of the frame, also you have 2 or 3 ground straps near the fuel tank, dont forget to undo the fuel neck......3 screws have to open the fuel door to reach them....last but not least the tail light plug.....on the driverside frame rail near the rear. P.S. better have a few buddies or a lift cause it weights about 3-4 hundred pounds

You can try and loosen the 6 or 8 bolts in the floor of the bed but usually they are so rusted they must be cut. Unplug the lights at the back edge of the bed right behind the bumper, remove the screws holding the gas tank filler tube to the bed and lift the bed off. Either jack it up and block it or 4 stout men can lift it.
get under neath the truck remove bolts that hold bed to truck. disconnect wiring that goes to lights on bed. lift off bed
There are several bolts through the frame. Disconnect the fuel filling hoses, electrical then remove the nuts from the bolts that go through he frame. The bed should lift off easily then.
remove taillights, pull taillight wires out of box from underneath. Free the gas filler from the box side. Remove the filler neck ground wire. Undo the 8 (?) box bolts from underneath (long extension with impact wrench) there will be holes to access the bolts through, but sometimes they are covered by aftermarket trailer hitches at the back. lift box
look on the drivers side firewall
This truck uses three different engines, all with slightly different starter mounting. All starter replacements are pretty similar though. Most importantly you must first disconnect the negative battery cable. Raise and support the vehicle. From under the vehicle remove the large and small power wires to the starter. Remove the starter mounting bolts Remove the starter. Reverse procedure for installation.
dumptruck hydraulic pump is filled from a separate tank installed on truck it is either hanging off chassis rails on side,between dump bed and cab,or it is between rails under neath dump bed. if under dump bed,u can fill with a hose with funnel joined to hose, takes a while to do this . or if truck bed is not loaded you can raise bed with a crane or other machinery ,enuff to get at tank
On the ground if you've taken them by truck. Never fill them when they are in the bed of a truck.
