Its super daunting, but little by little you start to make progress when you can and then you look back your list that keeps getting smaller and BAM, your driving the truck haha.

That really sucks about the bolt, do you know any one with a small 110V MIG welder they can bring over, it's a super fast job to tack onto the bolt and then weld a nut on and back it right out. Especially with it out of the truck, would honestly take 15 min. If I was near you I'd gladly swing by, but VA isn't near OK.
Well, 2 of the bolts are flush with the head, or down inside the head a little bit... 1/8" or so. The other 2, that would probably work. I believe my neighbor has a small welder. I'll have to hit him up and see if he has it in is garage.
