WAHOOO! The bed of the truck was a BREEZE to lift compared to the cab! Hardest part was removing the #$@%^&* rear bumper. After I had that off, all six bolts on the bed came right out. I'd been soaking them each day after work last week with PB Blaster. I still need to run into town to get some bolts/nuts to remount the rear bumper, need to torque down the cab mounting bolts one more time, need to connect the vent line from the fuel tank, get the parking brake line fastened back in tight, weld in the bed bolster things, tighten up the steering shaft connections, and install the gap guards. Yeah... I *really* need to install the gap guards. I have some BF Goodrich 33X10.5" Mud Terrains on order and should have them put on the truck early next week. I should be ready for them. I plan on finishing up about everything (except maybe the gap guards) tomorrow. So far:
