I'm in the middle of changing the body bushings and adding the ord 1" pucks. I have everything loose but the two in the back . I'm about to drop the tank and see if I can figure out what bracket needs to be cut and the tailgate springs ? Do I need to un bolt these? Last question do the pucks go between the body and the bushings or between the frame and bushings? I'm also glad to report no captured nuts were spun lol. Im hoping to get this done today and do shocks and springs tomorrow.

Bushings and puck job?

IIRC the rear mounts are multiple pieces, and you have to get the tank out of the way to remove part of it. It's been a long time, but I recall some sort of weird "U" shaped piece that captures a piece of rubber that is inside the frame rail, which is too big to remove with the tank in place.
This has a pic of the rear piece http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/csb/full.aspx?Page=17 but what I recall was different than that, it was more substantial. Probably so they could assemble the body to the rolling chassis with the tank in place.

pucks are against the body right? I don't remember removing the gate springs. I used them until I swapped tailgates.
Nice K5, looks clean!
