Which Rivets do I Remove

I ordered a Porter Built stage 2 basic rear kit for my truck a 68 chevy stepside. I want to work on getting it ready while I wait for it to arrive. I took the bed off and and was wondering what rivets I need to remove. Do I remove all the ones in my picture ? Bumpstops ? Also what other parts ? I know Porter Built e-mails you instructions when they ship but I have a couple days off work and want to play.

If you included the "fully adjustable trac bar" then yes, remove the factory pan hard mount on the driver frame rail. I say IF because they show it as an option with the basic kit. Here is a pic from PB you can see their bracket.

I think that should say includes instead of options on the Porterbuilt site because if you removed all the options you would get nothing for your money. and during checkout theres no place to pick options. Back to removing rivets to get rid of the mount.
