Re: 89 1500 parts ????
I would wait on installing your new wheels onto the truck until it is back from paint.
Less to have to worry about and less for the body shop to have to protect while they have it and are working on it. It wouldn't be the first time parts got stolen off of a vehicle in storage at a body shop. Every one I ever came across states they are not responsible for theft while the vehicle is in their possession. You really should do all the major mechanical work like the drop and engine / trans swap before it gets to the body shop even if you have to pull the engine back out after you do the swap so they can paint all the areas you want done. I hate having to worry about leaning on a fender or dropping a tool and causing damage to a fresh paint job. If you could get them to do the cab first and let you have the rolling chassis with cab installed back to drop the engine in while they are painting the bed, doors, fenders & hood you could save a lot of headaches. Get the engine reinstalled and the frame all detailed & painted then bring it back to them for final assembly. This way they could hang the panels back on the chassis perfectly and you wouldn't have to worry about damaging a thing on the outside of the truck when putting the engine in. Win-win situation.
