Replaced the driver's side header gasket. It had been bad for a while. The truck sounds so much better now.

Thanks Harold @Strick . The eyelet hanging from the filler neck in the 1st photo attaches to the side frame, correct?

Bed cross-rail. Here’s an underneath shot. Use the fuel fill door for reference.

So I started taking the u bolts off either side of the cat. I had PB Blaster soaking on them since yesterday. While I got those free easily it seemed like it will be quite difficult to free this cat. I sprayed the next set of u bolt nuts with the Blaster to soak while I get the kids to practice. I am thinking with that u bolt free also there may be more room for moving it around.

Does it look like I will have a chance to get this thing out without cutting exhaust pipe or taking further lengths of the exhaust out?

Doesn’t *look* that bad. Get that clamp off and then give it a good wiggle. Just depends on how much the crimp created by the clamp wants to hold on.

You could try a thin punch/chisel to try to spread the pipe back out, maybe heat it up some too.
