The only problem that I can see Brett,would be the rubbers that are permanently attached.i.e. door seals or any other part that would be glued in place.
The only other rubber parts I can think of would be cab mounts which may settle a bit.(shouldn't be a major problem)
Other than that you should be OK. It's not like you'll be tearing everything down more than once or twice at the most.
As long as you are careful.
I plan to run my truck 'nekkid' for a while before paint.
The chassis will be fully painted though.
I'd much rather find out any problems before it gets it's new finish.
The thought of trying to work round new paint is just plain scary!
