It's all about you Jim. I think the answer lies in what your plans are.

If you are going to leave the truck nearly all stock leaving the body in its OEM state would be logical.

If you are updating drive train, braking, etc. and want the truck to also reflect an upgraded body, then have at it.

At least that's my 2 cents. IMHO it's all good. thumbs_up
