Couldn't have said it better. You really need to get the front panel and rear sill bolted to the bedsides first to stabilize everything and start to make the measurements for squareness. I trust that you test fitted everything before you painted the parts. If so, then everything will go back together with minimum problems.
We are now including the complete assembly instruction free with all restoration parts orders.
