1965 C10 long bed stepside.

Question for the Bolters. I am doing a total frame off rebuild, and I have all the bed parts painted and the bed being built on stands. The chassis is finished including drive train. The cab will not be painted until December/February timeframe. My question is whether I can install the entire bed assembly before the installation of the cab? I understand the cab will have to be leveled and the bed lined up with the cab. Is this an absolute don't do? Any advice is appreciated.
