Just out of curiosity, how heavy is a truck bed? Just the regular 6.5'. Since I have to replace my fuel pump and would prefer not to drop the tank again.

I had to do the same thing. The first time I dropped the tank and broke a stupid little fitting the dealership didn't sell just the fitting so I had to buy a whole other tank. The second time I unbolted the bed attached some straps and lifted it off W a forklift.... This made the job so much easier.

Lol I went to the dealership and paid $70 for the entire fuel line up to the bottom of the cab since I was told you can't buy the fitting separate. Then I found out you could for only $12.

I have an 8 foot bed. 3 guys total did the job. Lifted it up and slid it down off the back of the frame. Slowly flipped it and lowered it down on the table it's sitting on now. I plan to clean up the underside real well, prime, and paint. I'll do the same to the chassis. Once that's all done it will go back together and get a 2" body lift to top off my suspension lift at the same time.

I'm kicking around he idea of cutting a fuel pump access hole in the floor of the bed and making a cover plate. Don't think I'm going to do it though. Would work great but I'm not really into cutting up my truck lol

Hey how much work was it to take those body moldings off? Are they just stuck on to the body like the badges ?

black out +

Hey guys, update again with the black out i guess you could say, did my moldings and my emblems. Just put the coat ofln the emblems, hope they turn out good, took my old ones off to put newer looking ones, got a couple stickers on also. Got two diamomd plata got camo? Sti KERS on my side windows (quad cab) and a small powerbass sticker on my driver side, says pb and their logo. Power bass on the rear window at the top Middle portion says powerbass and logo, a west coast audio sti let across my lower rear, kinda blocled by the toolbox but its red and looks sweet (they did my sub and amp and box). Got a cool diamond plate OREGON sticker and put in on my windshield sideways on my pass side. Instead of putting a Laramie emblem back i thought of putting a different one (custom) instead. Anyways, theres some pics, and does Anyone have a spare end Trim piece i could have or buy, mine came off in my damage spot :(
