Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab - Page 18 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Things have still been slow guys. I dig all the comments and ideas and it's really making me rethink a few of my plans. When I get home on the weekends I've been sitting out in the shop just staring and thinking about different looks I could go with, what colors, how we are going to do steps, and all sorts of stuff like that. Now that the work getting the shop into shape is pretty much done, and the Burb is running solid my dad and I are trying to jump back into our main projects. As far as my truck goes I'm still stuck in the stage of figuring out the exact angle and placement of the cab. I did get a pretty nice score thanks to a fellow Oklahoma Member on here!! I think we are changing her over to a fleet... What are y'all's thoughts??

Not to knock the great deal on a nice fleetside, but I think it just makes it seem too long with the extended cab and the fleetside so high in the air.

The stepside might just break it up a bit. Not sure if I missed the pic, but did you have a pic with a stepside bed on there or has anyone photo chopped one on for you?

joe231 · 11-12-2013, 10:48 PM

I say fleet all the way!!
But I really don't like step sides

**TJ's Chevy** · 11-12-2013, 11:01 PM

That thing looks cool! Like it!

jonzcustomshop · 11-13-2013, 12:32 AM

I kind of lean towards steps on the extended cabs myself...

**l79m20** · 11-13-2013, 12:49 AM

I say stepper looks better on that thing.

**argonaut** · 11-13-2013, 12:54 AM

Rock the stepside!

chevycowboy1985 · 04-21-2014, 12:13 PM

Love this build wish I could rock the extended cab that's one sweet looking truck

ChevyFreak60 · 07-02-2014, 06:32 PM

What ever happen to this truck?? It was looking bad a$$!

RockTonka · 07-07-2014, 12:41 AM

Nothing has happened to the truck...literally nothing!

It has taken a back seat to my 58 build for a few months...we've been working to get that on the road by the end of summer. My boy and I hope to get back on his around that time.

Hey guys, we haven't touched her in way too long. Dads '58 has taken up most all of our time, then school and work have all taken time from playing with it. I managed to do some swapping and picked up a little jeep that I'm fixing up to cruise around in and I have been trying to get my 4wheeler put back together over the winter. So I've been keeping busy with those, but once the '58 gets put together for hood I'll be back on this one!

For Christmas I did get a few trick little pieces though!! Billet good hinges and a nice fat steering wheel. Then last year I got a roll pan for the rear.

Test fitting things

oklahomaduner · 03-03-2015, 12:54 AM

And how she sits now

66-PMD-GMC · 03-03-2015, 07:26 AM

When will we see the 18X44 monster mudders on that dude??

oklahomaduner · 03-03-2015, 03:01 PM

Once my donation jar fills up...

roushinator · 03-03-2015, 03:58 PM

Thanks DW! The jeep will be a little blast to run around in! Its only got a 2.5 4 banger, and stock drivetrain, but I don't have much $$ in it so it'll be a worry free little dirt road cruiser on Friday nights!

oklahomaduner · 12-07-2015, 01:25 AM

Well I really need to get back on this thing... I managed to finish the jeep and flip it to earn a few bucks to throw in the truck fund. Dads truck is moving along at a pretty steady pace so if all goes well we should be getting back on this big girl in a few months!!
