How would you go about mating a Burb & Truck cab for a Crew Build, I have mixed opinions on where the splice should be made & Wonder what you think would work best?

Here are a Few Pics i have saved, Anyone have any more Pics showing where the splice may be located?

Thanks, Rick

This one looks perfect to me:

The back windows were rounded to match what would have been the back of the truck cab, the "square look" in all of the pics above looks "wrong" to me.

Looking at the pics on the first couple of pages when it was stripped some, they cut the back skin of a cab off, and welded it right behind the doors, just like it was going back on a regular cab truck.

I am no pro, but i like the idea of using 2 standard cabs. To me the cut down suburban looks odd because of the roof. If you change the roof skin on the burban then it would look better IMO.

Except for the small filler piece between the doors it is perfect!

This guy on this board, cough cough, Kevin, does these 4 door trucks and makes it look so easy. I am so jealous!

I hope to be driving mine before the rain comes.

Do you guys have a rainy season there? My brother was out there for the Marine Corps and he complained because it hardly rained there.

But he was probabaly south of you.

The rain starts usually about now and runs until about April. We get most of the rain up here in Northern California but it seems like southern California gets most of the water.

I see. So your winter is a lot of rain then. Beats snow.

Sorry for the thread derail...........
