How to pull rear tubs?

Really? Humm... guess I'll have to look again. Seems weird GM would not make them bolt in but they have done weird things before. LOL

Yeah, and the tubs are not the same as pickups either- they are round on top where the pickups are sorta squared off. I don't understand why they bothered to re-tool the parts just for panels/suburbans. There had to be a reason, I just don't know it.

Wow, I don't think I ever really noticed that. Hummm... learned something new.
