1.) finish bodywork on all interior bed panels / paint the inside surfaces and floor
2.) assemble the bed/ seam seal check tailgate fitment
3.) mount the cab on the frame/ mount doors make sure my gaps are still good
4.) mount core support/ fenders fit my fender gaps
5.) mount hood check gaps
6.) mount bed check fitment to cab
7.) disassemble
8.) finish bodywork on cab and doors
9.) finish bodywork on fenders/ hood - paint inside surfaces
10.) finish bodywork on outside of bed
11.) paint all exterior surfaces at the same time/temp
12.) reassemble.

I'm sure I missed a few steps. This is my first time doing one to this extreme.
Great looking plan Mike.. Let me know when you need help and I will come out and give you a hand...
