Not a whole lot of exciting things yet. We managed to roll the bent chassis out from underneath the cab/bed. I do not have pictures at this time.

No more low hanging exhaust! I found that Dead End Garage came out with these nice crossmember cutouts. They came with a template and use one of the preexisting holes. I ended up using a 4.25" hole saw... I was not sure if it would do the job, but I dropped the $50 for the saw and arbor and gave it a shot. Those had to be the most VIOLENT cuts I've ever made, but it worked like a charm and the saw is still in good shape. You can see in the first picture that I tacked a piece of metal to the crossmember in order to have a pilot hole. I then made a template which fit inside of the DEG template and marked the center point for drilling. I may go back and weld them in. Cleaned and painted hidden areas and torqued them down. Very happy with the results!
