New rockers, new cab corners, new wheel wells... thats not bad.

Yeah i've already been pricing the replacement panels and they aren't that expensive I just need to learn how to weld.

Very nice. I picked up inner/outer rockers, cab corners and all that Jazz from Keystone on Factory Ave in Cuse. On anything body work/paint related go to Danny at Saves on State Fair Blvd. Absolutely great guy to deal with.

Holy **** man you really did replace every piece of sheet metal in that beast. Thanks for the local hook ups too. Looks like you've got a lot of experience with body work on these trucks. Out of curiousity how much did the rockers and cab corners cost you?

Unfortunately after this truck I feel like I can hold my own when it comes to doing basic body work. Just spent today welding a patch in and filling a once was rust hole in the top of the windshield frame. I don't remember the prices of them individually but I do remember Keystone being a little cheaper than LMC, ckresto.com and most of the sites like that. I wanna say the cab corners were around 30 a pop, inner rockers 80 ish each, outer rockers were around 40 give or take and inner fenders were 50 I believe. Don't quote me though. Hopefully you get lucky and your inner rockers arnt bad. I just ended up replacing everything cause I couldn't afford a new cab let alone the freight on it.

Yeah I won't really know how bad it is till I get it home and get all of the foam stuff someone sprayed in there out so I can get a good assessment. Luckily I have a weeks vacation coming up in two weeks to give me some time to get to work.

welcome. Are these trucks 2wd or 4wd ?

 

[bizzo15]

all of the ones i've look at have been 4wd. With the winters we get here in upstate ny you'd be a fool not to have 4x4

 

[DroppedAsAChild]

In that case make sure you check the 4wd works. Try it more then once.

 

[bizzo15]

I will, do you happen to know if the 4wd on these trucks is vacuum actuated or electronic?
