rare 86: I spotted a short bed stepside extended cab back in Oct. in Noblesville, IN. I was unable to talk to the owner but will keep trying to find out who it belongs to. It was a 4x4 lifted and a body lift running at least 38s. It had a 73-80 possibly a 79' dog house.

If memory serves right it was scrapped. He wanted 2k for the frame n body but I didn't have the cash to save it. I tried talking g him down for just the cab even but a no go. Really made me depressed. I believe it was red n black 2 tone.

Hammered 77 · 01-02-2015, 11:39 AM

Woody do you know how to get ahold of him?

74CustomK20 · 01-02-2015, 11:50 AM

No, unfortunately. It was on a Facebook page and my notifications don't go back that far. It was, about 2 months ago or so. Wish I could a got it.

Hammered 77 · 01-02-2015, 12:08 PM

I wonder if it was the same one. If I remeber right it was a multi coloered custom paint. Sure wish I could've got turned and caught up with him.

Speeding Dakota · 01-03-2015, 05:19 PM

Looking around and found this CL post.
Cab and frame only - http://wheeling.craigslist.org/pts/4798527713.html

I've never heard of these trucks before I saw this CL and thought it was a joke - good thing for this posting other wise I would never have believed the listing.
Thanks everyone for the good information.

74CustomK20 · 01-03-2015, 05:23 PM

That was the 1 I was talking about actually... He wanted 2 and I tried. He seems weird and must a chickened out of scrapping out...

pontiac6269 · 01-04-2015, 12:25 AM

Has anyone besides the conversion companies that originally built the extended cab square bodies built one, and is there any pictures or a write on how it was done? I've had thoughts on making my C20 an extended cab but would want to keep the 8 foot box.

Thanks, Eric

bodyman922 · 01-04-2015, 10:07 PM

rare86: I like this thread and would like to know any information you have on tra-tech corporation. I have a 78 GMC K35 I know it's not an extended cab but like your 86 it has "THE BOSS" badges on it. I am curious what these badges meant and why they were used. The only thing I can think of is both these trucks are the 1 ton so maybe they were used on 1 ton only trucks. Here are some pictures for you. Any info is appreciated. Thanks

Hammered 77 · 01-06-2015, 01:00 PM

Anyone thought about cutting a crew cab down to make an extended cab? You could possibly, with some extra work, have rear doors on it.

Suicide doors at that!

Like the suicide doors too! You could add enough extra to allow a rear seat like the ones in 88-98 extended cabs.

Looking at the pictures the truck has regular c/k20 front wheels. I'm thinking maybe the company converted it to a dually?

Small world. I bought some pristine blue buckets from the guy that has that yellow x-cab in Indiana late fall. I looked at it but at 3:00 am, I was ready to head back home. Cool truck, really nice guy!
