anyone who has removed the body from the chassis, please help me out :)

im taking the frame to be rebuilt from the engine back (keeping the stock front end)

its gonna be bagged and stock floor body dropped.

so all they need is the frame, (leaving most of the engine on, ill take off anything in the way of removing the body)

i just dont have all the money just to take the truck to a shop and just say "bag it" and have them do all the labor..i just need them to build and weld the actual frame..cutting the wheel wells, floor etc ill do..so im taking the body off as well and putting it back on.

i know there is 10 body mounts if im correct, i cant even get the rear 2 in the cargo to move.......any tips?

Slamfest is this weekend (big car show) so when thats over, in the next week or 2 i wanna get the frame to the shop to have them start.
 












thanks for the quick reply! ill read through that at work and try to get started when i get home!! :D:thumbsup:
