66 extended cab
 
I just picked up a extra 64 cab with the intensions of a cab swap, but my friends and I have been throwing the concept of extending the cab about 6 inches or more and then extend the doors the same. Has anyone done this before or at least done any photoshops of that concept.

6 inches would be about the extended width from the door to the back. Why not graft the very back, split the roof, then put a strip in the roof extension? Lengthening the doors in my opinion would look way out of place. the cab extension if done right could look factory. If you want a longer extended cab 12 or more inches, the quarter glass and surrounding metal work great from a 89-98 chevy extended cab truck, and the windows open up. Just some thoughts and ideas.

6 inch's is hardly worth the effert If your going to extend it do it to the point your gaining some space because the amount of work is about the same
My chop on computer didnt take to long but the one in the shop well that new ball game. The cab was extended 22.5 in while bed was shorten same
Long wheel base trucks means no frame streching post pic I would like to see truck your working on
