I'd suggest selling any parts you don't break.

Sawzall with lots of metal blades will be your friend. Just out of curiosity... is this a 2dr?

Go get a die grinder. Sawzalls are hard to control on body panels and warp the steel. A nibbler would be even better.

First gen but gives ya an idea of all the work

I have been toying with the idea of doing this for some time now. but along with mine i was thinking about putting a fifth wheel back there just for looks for the time being as it is a 4.3. was thinking about that and making it a dually.
