Best of luck on your venture Slim. I did it and have never looked back. My Sho-Bud pedal steel just sits in it's case. All my stuff on soundcloud is on lap steel. I use a regular sized pedal steel bar (One of Basils) as I find the extra length very handy for slants. In the tab section you should find my tab for Nightlife. Like you I am using C6 with a high G but on my stripped down ZB I use high G and a D. I must admit though the pull tends to be toward my National so even thinking of putting the ZB to bed. Another trick - see if you can play some of your old pedal steel licks. They are there although there is a lot you will not be able to do.
If you behave yourself I may even tab out Weldon Myricks one pedal two finger two string thingy that fits everything for you

unless you already have it.
