Yea these trucks in the south are usually in decent shape. As for the body mount bushings I got the energy suspension ones and I just cleaned the metal retainers up for em. I had a time getting the cab off. I used a cherry picker also and took the wheels and suspension parts off the front and just guided it down the front.

and i would for sure recommend a painless kit. my factory harness looked about the same after i tore it out. the painless kit is pricey no doubt but it is worth every penny if you take your time with routing and running the wires.

Yea im gonna suck it up and get the painless. Im going to college for industrial electronics/electricity so I like wiring its not bad. BTW man ur truck is sharp I love the LS motors add a good set of heads and a cam and you have 500HP easy! Very nice build though!
