Pics of Crewcab shortbeds???
Show me what you've got! I love the gold and white Crewcab but $49500 is just way out of my price range. I've been thinking about making a 80's crewcab with a short bed but I am not sure how hard that would be? There is a 2 wheel drive crew for sale locally but that would be a lot of work to make it 4 wheel drive with a short bed, Anybody try this before? I am thinking Crewcab shortbed with a 6 or 8 inch lift and 35-36's?

Here is my buddy's truck that he built from a 3/4 ton and a 1/2 ton.
The pictures were before he had it completely finished. He's driven it for a year or so now, and it's currently getting torn down for a 2wd conversion and deep drop using spindles, springs, and flip kit.

Hey TxFF, that is a nice truck your friend has. How hard was it to convert from a longbed to short? I am a firefighter here in Hawaii probably just as hot in Texas as it is here? The reason I want to build a 4X4 instead of a slammed 2wd is because I would sell my Crewcab Toyota Tacoma 4X4 to finance the project and would need a 4wd again.

Last weekend , I was in SE Kansas/ SW Missouri and found a 76-ish crew cab SWB 2wd that had been converted to 1/2 ton...looked like an abandoned project....too bad the trailer was full....
