Finally got the bed disassembled and removed, gonna cut out a few bed floor cross sills and trash the rest of the steel bed floor.
The goal is to remove everything from the frame rails and prep the rails for the new suspension. So I've been grinding factory rivets and removing brackets and cross members.
And here's where I stopped for the weekend, only 6 more rivets and a few bolts and it will be stripped from the transmission back.

Are you going to put it on a frame table or how are you going to make sure it's square?
Tape measure! No seriously it should be fine now. All of the crossmembers that I have removed and the frame never sprung either way, so I'm pretty certain that there is no tweaks in the frame rails anymore.
With the front suspension crossmember removed I will be able to flatten the bottom of the frame where it was kinked. Porterbuilt does all of their stuff on a jig so if my rails are straight the new stuff should bolt right in. Obviously checking for square with a tape along the way too.
My rear 24x15 kit is a weld in kit so I have to make damn sure it's right before I finish weld it.
Measure once, cut twice!
