1985 Toyota Diesel Pickup Bed Removal?
Just curious how similar the bed removal process is to the 22re.
Remove taillights / wires
Remove screws for diesel piping
Remove 4 bolts on the edges of the bed(?)
Any recommendations if it's rusted? Penetrating oil spray, heat up the bolts?
Thanks!

Soak the bolts in PB Blaster a few days before and take a wire brush and get the threads as clean as possible. Then hopefully you got a impact wrench and set it on the highest settings. Mine was a pain to get off.
If using wrenchs, here is what I have done in the past. Lock them together and keep them flush witheach other and you can get alot of leverage. I have broken bed bolts using this trick.

Lol..It does come in handy. Not everyone knows about it and it has helped numerous times over the years. I have gotten enough torque on one to bust a bolt and when it let loose, I wound up on my rear, but hey it works.
