Big Dumb Loads

I've got one of those (non ES) that seems to be stuck in gear. Any tips to unscrewing it?

Helping my neighbor yesterday move some topsoil for his garden. he wanted me to load it in his dumptruck, then he pulled 20 ft forward and backed it in here to dump it, 5 times! then when that was done he asked me to pile it all back up! I could have done it quicker without the truck involved. but you gotta humor your 82 yr old neighbor sometimes.
I've been wondering how long this truck frame was going to last for at least 10 yrs. the bed is way too large for the truck, and the frame has been folded in like that for years.
I came home one day and he had made it in his driveway with it fully loaded with gravel, and blew out the front ball joints turning in. I had to pickup the front of the truck with a backhoe, get the balljoints back together enough so he could get it over and unloaded, then I put all new balljoints in it.
