Progress update!
Hydraulic ram is rebuilt, pump moved to frame and replumbed:
Bed lowered:
Bed lifted (not under power yet, no PTO driveshaft)
PTO installed
And an unexpected hangup:
The rear brake line on this truck was fitted to a standard 1/4" brake tee - which cracked and started spraying fluid everywhere. Come to find out, the reason it cracked is because the factory line is not a 1/4" brake thread at the axle, after all. Unable to find the right parts, this '92 S10 Blazer rear line and 3/16" - 1/4" adapters worked out just like GM meant it to.
As soon as I get a PTO driveshaft installed I need to run the control cables, then redeck the bed
