What do ya'll think????

[70chevroletx-cab]

This is my first try at a custom truck. I have seen extended cabs made before and thought I would give it a try. I have three boys and need to room for the family to ride in it. I plan for it to be a frequent driver if not a daily driver. Tell me what you think and any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I hope the pictures came through.

Nice job! Looks like you've got a good start. Keep the pictures coming. I'm building a 4 Door CrewCab myself. I cheated a little, I bought the cab already done. It was originally a long bed, I'm switching it to a SWB and putting in a 5.3 Vortec.

Awsome man, I have wanted to do this for the longest time. Please keep us posted.

Thanks Hart Rod. It was originally a c20 custom camper with a 350/350 combination. I have a 348 that I want to rebuild and put in it. Here is what I started with. I want to convert to disc brakes. Should I keep the 3/4 ton suspension or be just as well off with 1/2 ton. I don't plan to tow anything more than a fishing boat.

There's more parts for the 1/2 tons, so, since you're not goint to be doing anything heavy duty, I would convert it to 5 lug 1/2 ton stuff. Do you have any pictures of the inside? Are you lengthening the frame? Where's Taylor by the way?

[70chevroletx-cab]

I don't plan on lenghting the frame. I will shorten the bed and either notch the cab support or add a small body lift to clear the frame where it starts to make the upward bend. Taylor, AL is just West of Dothan.

Cool, I'm in Milton, which is east Pensacola. I'm building another frame for my CrewCab (Using a LWB for the front and SWB for the rear). If you're interested in my original Crewcab frame let me know. 33" were added underneath the cab of a longbed frame. You could use it to build your chassis while you worked your cab on the other one.

Looks like a cool project, always neat seeing something different. Keep us posted with plenty of pics during your progress.

I'd like to see more pictures of where the roofs are joined.

looks awesome, are you going to join the drip rails like in the pics of the crecab posted below your pics?

[70chevroletx-cab]

The firts three pictures shows where I have started to join the drip rails together. I may decide to shave the part behind the door. I don't have anymore pictures of the roof at this time. I will have to fill in with about a 12-16 inch piece to take care of the dip between the two roofs.

Here I am experimenting with cutting down a door and putting it on the extended part. Anyone have any ideas on how to build a hinge post???
