Thanks for the additional photos John. After you showed me the gasket location on your truck I remembered where the one was on mine. As you can see, the staples are still in the metal where they originally attached the gasket.
Also, love your shop rigging. I may have to try that. I quickly learned yesterday that this front end assembly process is definitely not a one man job, unless you can rig something like you are using.
