You would typically remove the bed floor to get it to lower over the frame and rebuild it later for clearance. From the look of you rear end setup this may be problematic but that part could stick up through the bed floor or you could cover it, I've seen it done both ways.

Todd's got it. cut out floor, lower body, weld in new floor or the old one if its good to go. [cl If your changing the transmission wait till it's in and build around it.[

Install the bed last. After the cab is in place. That way you can adjust it to look right. Then follow the advice above. There are man build threads that show how other builders did their beds.
Welcome, and have fun.
More pictures please.

Older and more rusted every day!
I channelled the cab 1st, then took the bed apart, bobbed it 6", mounted both sides then connected the back to the sides. I used 1"x2" steel tubing to build a platform & put expanded metal on top of that so I could use it as a truck but still see the quick change rear end!
