any extended cabs? Details in how you did it - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Think it would be important to keep everything as stock as possible to maintain the "factory" look. Use a folding seat back bench or Blazer buckets for access. Full carpet like a bucket seat truck either way.

I have a 70 c10 longbox. This truck already needs floor work and rockers.You are right about reinforcing the hinge area but that shouldn't be too hard. Would have to move the rear cab mount back.I think it would almost take 2 cabs so that there is only 1 seam in the roof and that would make it easier to get the curve right.Same with the doors.Just thinking out loud.I'll shut up now I'm highjacking this thread. Sorry.

Using burb "square cornered" front doors, and duplicating the "quarter window" to mirror the look of the front doors,... is the key to making these trucks look right.
Very few have pulled it off in my opinion.

I like the extended area on this truck. I wish I could see the inside to see how the finished it off.. actually I would like to see the whole build.

I think this is what Keith is talking about, I think this looks like what it should if factory built. I have a bunch of pics of this truck..came real close to bringing it home..shortbed, tubbed and had a built 283 all for 2500 bucks. I wanted to put it on a 4x4 chassis. The poor thing is now sitting in a feild last I knew.

this looks really well done, has the factory look

You are exactly right!
That thing is perfect and the way it should be done.
Do you know if it's still for sale?

BLAZERMAN · 11-11-2012, 09:50 PM

Last I knew he said he would still sell it, its down by Wichita

69GWC · 11-11-2012, 09:58 PM

Heck yeah that looks factory would be a great build.

I built it- spent about 10 months on it. I like it but, it can be a pain in a parking lot.

I would love that truck!
Can you send me some pics of the outside and inside of the truck?
Do you have any pics from the build?
What problems did you have if any?

Thanks

CG · 11-17-2012, 08:59 PM

There is a black Trazer someone has on the board that the doors were lengthened. I dont remember how much, something around the 4 to 6 inch range. Most people would never guess they are a little wider.

I'll look for some pics- do not have them in digital format- built in 1996. No major problems- just a lot of time & money!
