Had a custom frame made for it and have an LS motor waiting as well. This is my first body transfer. Other than labeling and bagging everything, any top tips? Like take bed off first or ???
Make sure to run brake lines on new frame before you bolt on body??
Has anyone done as step by step write up of this process?

Learned a lot the hard way on that one.

My approach would be complete the chassis, motor & trans install, rear end, suspension, brakes, plumbing, etc. first.
Then Cab shell, followed by front sheet metal. Bed last. | | |
