I am considering pulling at least the rear bed and the front clip off my 64 L320 to make it easier to work on the brakes, axles and frame, etc. So, first order of business was the manuals to size up the task. But looking at the Collision Estimator was not a lot of help so I came to the forum. However, after searching topics for many past years I found no references. Has anyone else considered this? Any advice or input would be appreciated as always.

The 320 is just one of them trucks, not many have them, and most of us just try to make them look nice.
I cannot recall seeing any frame off restorations except for one, but it's a totally custom build.

It took this guy years to do this, but it sure turned out nice.

The orange NL320 that Ted in Washington sold down in CA bout two years ago got a frame-off re-do and sold on Ebay for about 14K in Summer/Fall timeframe last year.
