Jeff,

Thanks, you are right, having to put the brakes on myself a little too not rush things.
Next, will review your notes on how you finished your bed, thanks again for sharing your process. Plan is to take it off this afternoon with some help from friends, just have four bolts holding it on from transport home. Then tomorrow start cleaning the rear frame section.

Still need to decide how to lower rear of truck about 2 to 3 inches to make level with front, maybe should wait till truck is all done to see how it sits. Then make rear adjustment. Thinking maybe install new springs now that lower some? Local spring company would make them for me. Keith S. showed me pictures of how he lower the rear of his truck, thinking of young that process. Key themes will be ride quality and traction/safety going down the drag strip a little.
