Extended cab truck

I have just been thinking about how it would be possible to make an extended cab, if anyone has done so or has been thinking about it would be awsome to hear what you are thinking

Anything's possible, just depends on how much you want to spend.

Use a long wheelbase truck with a standard short bed.
Just lengthen the cab enough to fill in the gap.
(12" should do it)

Re: Extended cab truck

I'll never click that like button. These trucks are what they are and if that doesn't suit you find something that does.

I agree...I appreciate the work someone has put into something but I just don't really like butchering original parts

Of course it's not as bad when it's done right.

Re: Extended cab truck

If it is rusting away, cut away. I can drive down the road 10 minuets in any direction and find a nice 67-72 c10 but to find another extended cab from these years of chevy I would be hard pressed to find one within 1-2 hours of a drive.
