Looking good man. What was involved with taking off the bed? I was thinking of doing that to clean/paint the frame and ease the install of my new exhaust when i do my engine transplant next weekend.

on the lwb ther are 8 bolts in the bed then the tailights and the gas filler has three bolts. then we used some chain and an engine hoist lifted it far enough to clear the tires then drove out from under it. ther was two of us and it toke about an hour to do it all.
