OK, besides the fact that it's a short bed crewcab, and they never made one, what else is different? Is it just the angle, or has the rear of the cab been shortened too????

Personally I like it. The Burb mirrors are way too big, but beyond that, I'd roll it...

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Whats with the grill? Is it a phantom? It looks like a aluminam screen material. Could be the angle.

the back door does look odd, i like it though... hell there is a crew cab dually here that is lowered looks nice... so what if it is a work truck.. what good is a truck lifted 12" ridin on 44s... not much of a work truck if you ask me.. to each his own....

Are the ribs in the roof factory, or grafted on from a suburban or something?

Haha, first person to catch on to that...actually, everyone always says I look JUST like Josh Jackson. So I thought for fun, I'd put that pic up.

Yeah, those are factory. The crewcab has the same ribs on the roof that the Burb does. It stops that big flat panel from flapping in the breeze, and gives the roof structure some strength...

Because the windows are soo dark (and it is hard to tell), aren't the rear doors supposed to have vent windows as well? I don't see any in the pic.

explain this then.

They might not be operational windows, but there are definately two seperate pieces of glass. I don't see it on the truck Ken posted...but I could be wrong.

If you look closely at the picture I posted it has that same non functional vent window at the back of the door.

Jef is correct. The crewcab does have a small "filler" window. I'm pretty sure it is a fixed window though. The one pictured has this filler window too, but it's not very visable in the first pic.

Looking at these pics, the roof looks short too. I still think the cab is shorter...
