Do you need the factory fuel filler neck?

Despite my original doubts, the one from the flat deck fitted straight up. Too easy!

Impressive that you got the flat deck off with 3 people. Those things are heavy af

We had a sausage roll for lunch, nothing is impossible.

Just needs one more thing…

It was actually only 2 of us and the third guiding the fuel filler out of the way. But yes, it was heavy haha

Such a tidy king cab. Looks awesome with the tray on too - good score finding one of them.

Whats the welding you guys were doing to front of tray? Just repairs or something more drastic (shortening?)

The front edge and bottom of front panel was all rusted out. So got a new bottom rail and front panel made up and that's what got welded in

100%

Some stuff happened

 

[Beaver]

 Chuffed how it came out. It's not a show car paint job by any means but it's what I wanted. Still has some dents and dings as I wasn't paying for a full panel job haha. Needs lowering ASAP, have a spare set of leaves I need to do reset. 

[Beaver]

Springs off to the shop. Can't scratch the new paint just yet.. 

 

[Beaver]

Reset springs in. It's not actually low but it sites level now now and looks a lot better. New shocks are on the list, these don't have any shock left in them.

[kp60nick]

I have a part number somewhere for some  short shocks that suits these things if you're interested. 

[Beaver]

Always keen for options! 

[Beaver]

Lowered the front another 20mm or so, shitty pic sorry

 

Added some foam matting to the tray

 

 

 

[Beaver]

And new shocks all around. 4x4 d21 up front (shorter than the 2wd ones) and Nissan Quest rear shocks in the back which are shorter than the factory ones as well. All bolted straight in and feels as good as a 35 year old truck on bumpstop should feel like ...haha. Front is touching bumps, rear not quite. So need to have a play there.
