i finally got the 3/4 ton rear in and bolted down and set the bed on and front clip on got the cab bolted on last week.

Looks like a great work in the project. I was wondering how hard it was to take the bed off? What about the front clip? The reason I'm asking is that I am really wanting to do that to my 61, but being new at this, I'm a little bit hesitant.
Did you have any "major" problems? Any other advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

it is pretty easy to take the bed of there is 4 bolts on either side, you might have to cut them if they are rusted. the front is not to hard either use penitrating oil on the bolts befor you try to pull them off and betach any wires so you don't damage them and pull the raditor and battery.
there was not to many problems except rusted bolts

Looks good. One heck of a clean underside, wish I started with mine that clean.
