There would have been plenty of time to tear it back apart and do the bodywork and paint but at least I would have been able to drive it for a while. My vote is for driving it.
Point taken.
I guess I will get the bed painted and installed with a plywood floor in it temporarily then start driving it and keep fixing it up as I drive it.
I still need to purchase a tailgate, fleetside rear bumper, tail light and backup light assemblies but I already have the cash for that stuff.
I just need to save up some more cash for the paint job.
