King Cab

Arad68 · 10-19-2008, 11:36 PM

I like it, the bed seems out of proportion, but I am diggin the cab. Very nice. No bids though, sign of the times I guess. No one seems to have much money, it is definitely worth the 10K starting bid.

Critter · 10-19-2008, 11:40 PM

The rear suicide door is a nice touch. Most extended cab customs that you see just have a fixed rear cab area. Looks like pretty nice work.

**88JRFAN** · 10-19-2008, 11:58 PM

Looks like they cut the bed in the front instead on the back. Definitely a nice truck, needs lowered a bit though.

Frizzle Fry · 10-20-2008, 12:02 AM

Very cool. The bed needs its @$$ chopped down for sure. No good pics of the rear hinges or latches... Looks like a newer ext cab style latch/handle from what I can see.

Rollie396 · 10-20-2008, 12:08 AM

definitely one of the best attempts at an extended cab I've seen.I especially like how the window was done.It just looks like it belongs.

Bus Ted Knuckle · 10-20-2008, 08:51 AM

Wow, that is nice.

LOW DOUGH · 10-20-2008, 09:41 AM

that is neat. It looks right except for the back of the bed

FRENCHBLUE72 · 10-20-2008, 01:46 PM

I like the idea but id cut the bed down or make the frame longer.

cameeks · 10-20-2008, 01:50 PM

I think it will look better if the wheel base was stretched and put in the middle of the bed. If that can be done.

1LoC10 · 10-20-2008, 03:17 PM

pretty cool, put a regular SWB box on it and it would real nice...
hoods kind of neat too

rambler · 10-20-2008, 06:06 PM

I like it,, wonder if both sides open up?

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-20-2008, 06:12 PM

I agree about the box as well. That cab is awesome though. Hood is cool as well.

bad6772 · 10-20-2008, 06:24 PM

This thing is cool.......Agree with the bed but i would own it as is......The hood looks as if its a later model H.D hood.....To me it does anyways

72BlckButy · 10-20-2008, 08:02 PM

Someone knows their way with a welder...

That's pretty cool!

ENHANCED AIR RIDE · 10-21-2008, 11:31 PM

Yeah I agree looks like 99 up parts to fab rear door. as well as late model seats frt and rear. Yeah bed looks similar to my 05 crew cab sb, odd

**special-K** · 10-22-2008, 07:48 AM

Excellant work on that cab!!!

67ChevyRedneck · 10-22-2008, 10:05 AM

I agree with the others... the cab is PERFECT! I would LOVE to have that cab!

The bed... looks goofy

My fix:

1. Bob the tail to match short bed rear proportions and make it like a modern crew cab where the front of the bed is short to make up for the extra cab...

2. Extend the wheelbase/frame and add a true shorty bed (this would be my preferred method.)

Again. I LOVE that cab!

That is extremely nice exept for the bed. I wouldn't mind riding around in that at all.

67ChevyRedneck · 10-22-2008, 11:10 AM

^Yes, PERFECT!

Now assuming I had the funds

I'd give 20-25K for that truck... as long as I could see extensive progress pics as the cab was built.

GM didn't make that many burbs... wonder how many more will die for beauty's like this?

True, but it dosen't look like it came from a burb. It has a low roof line. Of course that could be fixed too to make it low like a truck.

67ChevyRedneck · 10-22-2008, 01:05 PM

I'm going to disagree and say that "the cab" started out as a burb.

Look at how high it is in this pic:

**I just noticed the grill is broken in this pic**

And it appears to have a gentle slope back to the "truck cab" section in this pic:

...and my truck....

On a pickup, the cab roof starts low at the windshield and gently rises to the back of the cab. On a 'burb, it just starts out high at the windshield.

**Hart_Rod** · 10-22-2008, 02:03 PM

It's really kind of hard to tell from the pics. Here's a picture of my CrewCab. It was built from a truck cab....
