Stocker to Rocker (touch up build)
 

I have been lurking the website for some time and finally decided to jump in.Man there are so many talented folks here and a wealth of knowledge. Picked up a nice little stocker truck that a buddy of mine was ready to say goodbye to and I was more than happy to get my hands on it. Anyway I found some minor issues that have to be delt with so here we go. The truck has been painted now for about two years and I found some areas on the cab that needed attention as you will see in the photos.

As you can see there is some cracking of the paint on the corner of the cab to be able to repair this we are taking the bed off. Oh and the UPS guy stopped by with a couple of boxes while we have the bed off we are static lowering 4.5/6

Removing the bed and setting it aside next up fix the cracked paint....

Cool project ... You are a brave man laying under the truck with just a floor jack.

Re: Stocker to Rocker (touch up build)
 

Thank you ....

Jack stands are there just can't see them there on the trailing arms..

Beautiful truck!

And let me tell you... you will love the 4.5/6" ECE drop. I love it on mine and haven't thought twice about my decision. :D

Keep the pics coming. :)

Thanks for the comments.....Yes you gotta love how easy the manufactures make it nowadays to lower a truck.....I ordered wheels today I went with Billet Specialties and Toyos can't wait to get em in.

Now today on a search and destroy mission we found a small area with some orange so we are investigating a little further to see how far it goes I will keep you posted on the progress.....

What a nice looking truck! Post up how the lowing goes... I have the same kit laying in the floor for my build. Looking a that pic make me cringe... I've been working on rust and almost have it nailed after two weeks of blasting and welding grinding fussing...:lol:

Re: Stocker to Rocker (touch up build)
 

Thanks trust me Im counting the days till I get the wheels .....I am going to do a step by step with photos of the lowering it may be helpful for someone who's never done it before. I plan on doing it while I have the bed off much easier on my old back !

Re: Stocker to Rocker (touch up build)
 

Cool, I have mine down to just the rolling frame so I planned to do the springs and shocks then... I have never done one before so been looking on here and trying to find someone to help me locally. My father if his health was better could handle it but that just isn't possible.

Got the seam sealer deal done. Thanks though.;)

Re: Stocker to Rocker (touch up build)
 

Fixed the damaged area...........next up paint.......then on to lowering....

Re: Stocker to Rocker (touch up build)
 

Minor distraction today my Brother showed up with his LM rig........

Re: Stocker to Rocker (touch up build)
 

Update....while I have my bed off I am replacing the bed bolts......

Re: Stocker to Rocker (touch up build)

Re: Stocker to Rocker (touch up build)

Re: Stocker to Rocker (touch up build)
