I would like to start removing the rear drivers fender, step and box side - will this be possible without dismanteling the whole box? If that is possible at that point also I would like to fix my cab corner since I will have more room. We don't have much space so we have to do a little at a time then turn the truck around and put it back in the garage to work on the pass side. Any help or suggestions would be great!

You also have lots of projects to keep you busy.When you start putting more back on than you take off you are making progress. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 946 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 946 | Yes, you can but the tail gate will have to come off too. I think you will find it easier to dismantle the entire bed to get the most access to the cab corners. Keep your doors on when replacing those corners so you know everything is lined up. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 68 Smokey 56 | | Smokey 56 Joined: Jul 2010 Posts: 68 | Thanks hankrags for the info and reply!

I ended up renting a tow car garage and it is still not a whole lot of space with tools and all the parts.
I wish you luck but my adivse is to look for some type of garage space for cheap and do it there.
