some of my current process...im trying my hand at body work...not a body guy at all...but ey, this forum makes me think i can give things a shot.

might have issue with bed tho...2 of 8 bolts came out ok. the other 6 spun in bed. so now im wondering what ill need to do to get the bed back on and held in place. thought bolts were supposed to stay put while nuts came off...
ill post pics tomorrow of this. since bolts spun, my under the influence buddy said we should cut em off... think he did more harm than good.
anyway, this is where i stand for now.
need to buy a gun to spray primer...not sure which one...
need to finish body work...
gonna try and get flip kit ordered so i can do it while beds off....im gonna try it...no a mechanic by any means...
need to...
need to....
well you know how it goes.
thanks for replies

different pics of truck...
