yep 4 guys is how we do it
but it helps alot to remove the doors and the seat ..
be carefull when you pull the shifter out of the t19 there is a pin you have to grab that holds it straight .. that isn't shown in the book .. i was unaware and it fell into the tranny and i had to remove the pto cover to get it out
shouldn't take long to do .. also i use pallet rack beams and a jack to maneuver cabs and beds sometimes .. just depends .. but 4 guys aughta do it
use spray paint if you want it's your truck .. but that stuff is crap .. if it's thick it destroys the paint when it cracks and pulls off in chunks .. not at all made to withstand uv rays and the elements .. it's usually junk acrylic not urethane .. not flexable or abrasion resistant .. protective or any of that .. and it is horrible when you have to remove it to do body work or paint because it sticks in all the paper and reacts poorly with automotive paint .. you have to make sure it's removed completely when it fails and it's time to paint it because it doesn't play nice with auto paint ....
yuck
but do it if you want .. it's your truck
