Andrew,
If the `6 is anything like the `4 let me give you a little heads up.
When you remove either of the bodies, either leave the doors on and
closed or make some sort of brace to go from the B pillar (back
side of the door opening) to the A pillar (front part of the
opening). This will keep the body straight at an inherently weak
place. It doesn't matter what you use 2X4s or angle iron. Just make
sure it's bolted securely.
