well i started up again. it was hard to get motivated for some reason. I am taking a slow as you go approach to this extended cab. drilling out the spot weld and such. I want to leave as much metal in place till I'm ready to open the back up. thus far as of tonight I have the drivers side drilled out and cut out the lower cab corner so I can die sect it and reinforce the rocker section as it will be fully open like a new crew cab. I will prolly cut out the top of the cab just enough to slide them together tomorrow. I want to have fully functional rear swing doors on the rear. but one thing I'm not sure of is if I am going to chop the bed down to 5 feet or if I am going to stretch the frame... also step side or fleet I know this has been brought up already though.
