Thanks guys! I'm pretty happy with it. It's gonna bug me until I can get it painted. I may have to take that extra leaf out of the rear or my gooseneck is gonna run on the back axle! LOL!

Bill, looks really darn good! Nice color! 
I noticed something on the last set of pictures. The line of the bed that is supposed to match the doors sits a tad above the door line. make sense? the reason I am asking about it is that my truck does the exact same thing1 I thought it was warped leaf springs or bad body mounts. neither of those is an issue though. When I got the front end work done last week, they checked the frame and said it was perfect. I have been really trying to figure out why it would sit like that. Maybe it's normal based on your truck?

LOL!! I wish I could go faster! I have a 2000 F550 PSD out there I'm working on for someone, my son's '96 PSD is in the shop getting ready to be put back together (he is supposed to start a thread on that this evening), I have to pull the engine on the Subaru, I have to get my skid steer in the shop and get it running so I can start clearing for the new shop I wanna build that I have absolutely no money for, and I have a list of stuff as long as my leg to do to my truck before RRE!.....and the list goes on.....I'm hurrying, believe me. In the blink of an eye it's gonna be winter time again!
