Removed the box from my C-10 today... by myself.....

It took a while and some creative thinking but I did it. I've been wanting to remove it for a few weeks now but never seem to find the time to ask for help so I decided to just go for it by myself. Now I can start tearing into the rear of the truck without the box in the way. I'll post some pics in the next day or so. I wouldn't suggest doing this sort of thing by yourself but it can be done safely if a guy just takes his time and thinks everything through.

I did a cab by myself (Low garage cieling) and cracked the windshield... Do your pictures show the process?

Yeah, I took it off by hand. I just had to think everything through and take my time.
