It is still fun to drive but I am going to have to do some of the same things you are doing before the body falls off. 

 I have to laugh, you could well be describing my '47

The previous owner had a solution for that, they bolted a flat plate on both sides of the tailgate down to the frame . . After I removed them I could lift the back of the body off the frame.
