I keep thinking back to the post where you stated you got tired of waiting on the body shop - so you decided to do it yourself and I'm wondering like, man, why did you ever even consider somebody else...
didn’t do anything to the springs. The front will need something soon as they are almost sitting on the bump stops. Maybe 3/4 of an inch to move.

for now stock bumpers will be going on, but in the future I want to get a far from stock front bumper for it.

originally I didn’t want to do the roof just because of the pure shock when we discovered it. But after a while of thinking of ways to do it, we just decided to do it ourselves

Believe it or not, this truck has never hauled anything more than some plywood in the bed. If a trailer was hauled, it couldn’t have been very big because it would have had to been pulled from the bumper, but I doubt it because there isn’t any plug for trailer lights. For what ever reason, the original buyer didn’t order the truck with the towing package, aka, a hitch. So I have to add a hitch and a brake controller to the things to do as well.

i swear the list of things to do grows faster than you can finish any of the other things on the list
