a body lift is a one man job
i did the bed in about an hour bc i couldnt find anyone to help, but it went pretty smooth and im happy with the results, its only half done but ill finish it hopefully tomorrow

i didnt have access to air tools so i used a ratchet and 100% elbow grease

and of course i got pics...

the only bad part was my arms getting sore after a while, and cutting the fuel filler neck hose, for some reason that seemed hard lol

any advice for doing the rest?

You're only fast because you're short enough that you don't have to bend down or anything, it's kind of like cheating.

hard part is rear bumper brackets, steering extension is a breeze with a little anti-sieze, radiator isnt too bad, you need to crush in one side of the bottom lowering blocks to clear the pinch weld on the core support (youll see) and make sure to loosen the radiator before you lift the cab. front mounts can be fun too if they spin

have someone sit on the core support or hold them with a pair of 18" vise grips or both...usually both and heat/impact is what it takes if they are stuck
