So I would pretty much have to rebuild the whole thing. they hide all the horrible body work with tons of bondo, and all the horrible welds with interior trim. and the pinch welds on the bottom dont line up. and since my truck lays pinch thats sort of a big deal.
That's how they were built. Mine is the same way. If I keep it (I really want to) I want to correct all those area's and make it nice and tight. They are rare and attract a lot of attention. If that is what you are wanting........ All you need is a LWB frame, the converted cab, that converted bed; or you can use a regular short bed. Think about it some more before it's gone. A few years ago I tried to buy a different 85 extended cab and bed from a junkyard. They wouldn't do anything until they started to pull up the row to be crushed; then they were going to call me. They never called, I guess someone forgot....... That one is gone. I did get a second chance, and snapped that one up quick. It's in much better shape too Just my thoughts......
