Couple questions...

How hard is it to remove the body from the B2 frame? Obviously i know you have to unhook steering, wiring, etc. But is it as daunting as it seems?

Secondly....how big of a pain would it be to use a carburated body with an EFI running gear? Or do the 2.8 trucks have a hole already in the right spot for a ECM harness?

And last but not least if one was to get an auto rig to swap onto a frame with a manual trans whats involved in swapping pedal assemblys?
 
I can only speak to the EEC wiring question - there should be the appropriate pass through for that already since the 2.8 ran EEC-IV to handle the ignition, feedback carb, etc.

Kinda figured that was the case but wasnt sure if it was in the same spot as a 2.9
 
Stay within the same generation obviously

If you are going to junk the old body things get a lot easier to remove...

If the new body has a good title it would probably be easier to powertrain swap than body swap.

If you can beg/borrow/steal a two post lift your life will be a lot easier.
