I was looking on Mautofied, and saw this....86 CC Dually, with ground effects, no engine/trans, BUT wait...what is this? about 8" behind the rear doors to the bed? was this an option? or custom built? The ad mentions nothing of it.

that thing would make a sweet road trip truck
with the ext cab the rear seats that proberly could fall down into a bed and a flip out TV, cooler and other stuff like that in the Sleeper
lower it abit and throw a diesel in there for the MPG

Im not talking about the sleeper on the bed, I am talking about the 6-8" extention on the rear of the cab, Tra-Tech and The Western Hauler conversion companies here in Fort Worth were putting them on in the 80's

This was an extended cab conversion, but without windows. Check the thread on here about "extended cab square bodies". I own an 85 extended cab 1/2T. It's got the windows and rear jump seats. I've seen one other 3/4T extended cab here locally that didn't have windows in the back. That was about 2 years ago.....It's probably sitting in his yard somewhere now :(

The extension was fiberglass though?

The small extensions were fiberglass, the extended cabs were made of steel ( wasn't real good job) at least that is what I remember from countless trips to their manufacturing locations in North Fort Worth back in the 80's

That is a cool truck! I've been thinking about doing this to my 95 ford pretty hard lately. I was going to go 6 door, but that is a lot of truck. :lol:
