One step at a time, that's the best way. You'll get there, eventually.

This read like a poem to me.

i wish all i did was work on trucks.
im thinking of a career change....back to dirty hands work.
it soothes me, even laying in the gravel. and mud.

Mine needed a new rear end seal and I decided it was worth it to remove the bed just for that. But when it was off I had good access to replace the exhaust system, the ujoints, shaft carrier, flex brake line, and clean everything up, too. And once it was running again it was fun to drive without the bed on for a while. It sure made things a lot easier with the bed off, it's sort of a poor man's frame off method.
