I guess I will put a thread to track my progress and get questions answered.

Looking at the picture I posted, is the bolt supposed to go through that plate with the nut on it? I assume so and the PO just didn't have the correct length bolt when he did the body bushings. Th carpet was screwed down and he didn't remove it to replace the bushings

Anyone know how much the Bed weighs? I and trying to decide if I want to use the tractor to lift the bed or another method.
Also whats the easiest way to remove the Metal trim piece from the back of the cab?
I have lots of updates and pictures to add. Just remembering to do it is difficult.

Fenders are ready for primer, body got shimmed so the fenders will fit correctly once they are primed. The PO put new body mounts on but didn't take the time to ensure the body was correct and level.
