I think they are, not sure

No real updates as of now, ordered cab corners and should be ordering wheel arches today.

Got most of the 44 stripped boy is it ever rusty. After soaking in liquid wrench for 2 days it made stuff a lot easier, but still a pain haha.

IMHO I think you should go with a little darker blue. I think it would really set of the dark headlights. Now that I have thought about it I think with the silver you were talking about going with will contrast the tinted lights and no chrome a little to much.

You can kinda see it's not sitting level, there is a slight slope on the passenger side it's sitting on.

And I'm not keeping the blue sadly, it's too expensive

I have decided and just picked up the paint today

Reason I picked this is because it's cheap, durable, and this truck is going to get scratched and probably develop rust again so I'm not going to sink money into a nice paint job.

Also got the bed off and pulled the truck under the carport to start working on the cab corners

Making great progress! Thanks for sharing all the rebuild pics. Be sure to post one once you've finished painting.
