the extra cab is on and bolted down. will stretch the side out tomorrow and put plenty of reinforcements in the floor and sides. Still have not decided if the bed will remain as far back as it is now, then put spare tire there with a bed mounted hist or push bed forward to center it over the wheels.

nk14zp · 03-21-2009, 20:09

Looks great, I like the idea of the spare in that gap.
I have a sneaking suspicion the pics in this thread may eventually set a record for most times viewed.

I am saving this thread. This is so much of what i been waiting to see. Will be following this one and please keep the step by step pics coming. i Also like the idea of a crew cab and takes alot of the thought of somethings out for us already..

it looks like a nice project

yeah, the radiator is stuck out in front of where the grill SHOULD be. it does have a 671 Detroit in it. the engine is just too long to get the whole thing under the hood. so someone put the radiator outside where it should be. EVENTUALLY I will re-do the grill and radiator area to clean it up a bit, not sure what i am gonna do just yey. I may stretch the font fenders and hood to make it all fit under the hood. I would ahve to rename the truc, STRETCH if I did that!
I will put the shoe series of pics in an album and a step by step story how I did it all whe its fin ished. A project like this is NEVER truely finished is it?
