Thanks, the white will be along the line of a standard 2-tone truck so there is that small portion along the door below the side window.

Thanks, things a going pretty quick right now. The roof paint will be a game changer. I was worried about the clips also, but they pulled right off with no problem. Just get behind one of the ends and give it a little help to get it started. I needed to patch on the backside of each clip. They have some small bumps on the sides that help hold them on and tight. After the paint, they pushed back on and they are tight. I was worried about putting them back on. I thought I might need a little glue but it was not needed.
For today it will be more work on the bed. I've got Bed Lift II done. The new design will help get the bed just high enough that I can get the outside boards adjusted and then the rest of them. I had about a 1 inch gap when I got all of the boards in. I made some adjustments and I'm ready to try again. I am sure that when everything gets painted I'm going to find some friends to lift it back on the frame.
