I know the feeling Paul.
I had my dually completely dismantled this past summer. Nothing mounted on the frame. Stripped the interior of everthing. Same with the motor compartment. Just the cab shell and box on the frame. Everyone thought I was nuts and I'd never get it back together the way it came apart cause I had a huge pile of parts laying there. When it was all said and done, it got back together works better than it did before. I wish I could have afforded to get all the paint and body work done while it was down, but that'll be for another year!
Can't wait to see how your ol steed turns out!
