You're up for a load of fun.... two bolts and two rivets on each hanger...
Weld torch worked for me... needed to remove the gas tank though...

Hope this helps.

I pulled the bed on my truck and use a grinder, punch held with a pair of pliers, and a 4lb sledge. Those rivets practically jumped out of the frame.



And yes this is one of the common problems with ford trucks.
