    It was going fine until I tried to remove the bed bolts. They broke free from the nuts just fine but once they broke loose from the nuts I couldn't pull them through the bed idk why. It's with all of them to, they are all about 2 inches above the bed and that's the furthest out I could get them. I'm just gonna cut the heads off tomorrow and pull them out the bottom. Then I got all the cab bolts out except for the one on the passenger side core support. It's seized in the bushing so I'll probably cut that and just drill it out since I have to drill out the threads any ways

    Yep just have to get an angle grinder, but I'll get one tommorow at work. I'm hoping the body bushing is easy to drill out. That's really my main concern. I'm hoping that once i get the grinder it all goes smoothly and quickly

    I would but I don't think my air Compressor is big enough to run air tools. I got the heads cut off tho. I got all the lift blocks put in except for the ones under the core support

    Still not done. Just have to extend the fuel lines, mount the rear bumper, and still have to put the blocks in under the core support. The bushings are toast so I had to order new ones and they won't be at advanced auto till Wednesday
