I've discovered it's a lot easier to get the back done right than the front... just 'cause the back is a little more rigid... cuts easier and easier to work with.

Well, I could probably get an unwrecked one for the same price. Guy didn't know the mileage. I hook a battery up and hooked my data reader. 285k miles. Still wouldn't come down on price. Ohh well. I've got all summer/fall/winter to find one

Ya I'm not rushing it. I'd honestly like to find a 3/4 ton with the 5.3, it'd give me a better transmission. I'll probably use the 241 case as well. Bolts right up and has correct drop.
