Stre(t)ched cabs...INFO.
Being a taller guy, the idea of having the cab streched to accomodate my legs seems pretty nice, esp with a manual trans. Any thoughts of the difference in cost (prolly not going to do it myself) with cutting the doors and roof vs just cutting behind the doors.... Door cut = what do you do for glass?
Posting pictures for examples would be great, I can only find a few online. Would an 8ft bed truck be better and cut the bed down to make it a ~7ft bed be the easist way to make the project work? thx in advance. ~Zach |

Re: Stre(t)ched cabs...INFO.
I don't think you'll want to start on a SWB truck.
There was a post of some pictures just recently and there was a truck that was stretched. s/t

You can also just cut the inside behind the seat and mount the seat futher back....
The red one in the picture is stock the white one is the modified one. |

Re: Stre(t)ched cabs...INFO.
I had a PS done of mine. its a 4" stretch right down the middle. I think it brings it all into proportion.
