thanks for all the responses guys. redneckrodder, what you referenced was my main concern with the whole thing. there are quite a few extended cab s10s in my area as well so maybe that would be a better option. i will keep my eyes open for a longbox truck but they are just so scarce around here or people want a ton for them

I hear you there. I waited for a long time to find one and never did. I ended up finding a guy that parted out small trucks and bought a rolling standard cab frame for $100. But theyre easy to extend. I just found the longest straight section of the frame and split the difference, made the cut and sleeved it. I was able to have about 8" sleeved inside the rails, then plug welded it and welded up all the edges. I don't have any pictures of it, but I plan on disassembling my truck soon to do paint prep. If you're still interested in this route I'll send you some pics then.
