You and the guys definitely make doing a crewcab conversion easy, not that it is easy I'm sure, but you sure make it look that way. Nice work.

Made some progress on the roof, I cut it where it was overlaping in the rear
and butt welded it. I had to add brace on the inside to support it so it would keep the correct shape. I added 3 inches to the orignal brace and tucked it
as high as possible, still have one more to do.

Very cool. As good as you are at this, you ought to knock these out and sell them to us no-fabbing types.

Not sure how long its going to be. It looks like the wheel base is going to be abuot 10 inches longer than a longbed but overall lengeth will only be about 2 inches longer because of the shortbed. This is just some rough math I could way off!

Good to hear I thought you were going for a motor home wheel base for a minute man that would be hard to park. :lol: Keep up the great work.

I second that! It usually gets cold here, but these 15* highs and below 0 lows are really cramping my ambition! :lol:

Re: Brave or crazy? crewcab build
 
Yeah it's way too cold for me...I think I need to move to AZ...of course, then I would probably complain that it's too hot.

Well, keep up the good work so that those of us stuck in this cold crap have something to follow :)

I decided to take a brake from welding this weekend and finish
taking this thing apart. I want to get engine and trans out by the end of the
weekend. I also had some little helpers today!

I got motor and trans out today also tore motor down for rebuild looked good
inside. Its a 350 that has never been rebuilt all standard sizes.
Also a little bonus its a 4 bolt main. I forgot how messy it is when you tear
down a motor oil and antifreeze everywhere!

They do make that part but it appears to be pricy. I wish they made that one when I was redoing mine.

I know I have seen these in other places than LMC.

The crew is looking great!

The cowl is a little cheaper through GMC Pauls.
