OP in New Zealand. Probably no nonsense liability issues as here in the states where a customer who injures himself working on his truck on your property could sue you.
Nope, totally different situation. The OP states the truck was delivered like this, there is no way for him to sue the shop if he did this and it was not requested by the shop.
Nope, OP said, "and the customer removed the deck for us." Nowhere does he say the truck was delivered like this, and although I understand what you mean, until the OP clarifies, we don't know. I had my car in the body body shop once to paint the side and quarter panel and they said it would come out better if the rear window was out. I went to the shop with my tools and took it out right there.
Understood, however I don't know ANY shops in my area that will let you do anything to your car besides maybe grab your wallet out of it while it is inside the shop for liability reasons. Your shop was opening themselves up to a huge risk. Common sense tells me I highly doubt the OP would let the customer do something as labor intensive as removing the bed inside their shop.
