Re: Square body extended cabs
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.

Re: Square body extended cabs
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. |

Re: Square body extended cabs
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...

Re: Square body extended cabs
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

Re: Square body extended cabs
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

Re: Square body extended cabs
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!

Re: Square body extended cabs
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.

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

Re: Square body extended cabs
I know of a shop in Minnesota that did this conversion. Used to visit it often. The truck they built was called the Longhorn by CVI. Maybe the name is territorial. I think they might still have some jump seats and windows. I do still have a brochure on them.

Re: Square body extended cabs
I always liked this one. It was made by a local body guy. It was a 76 long fleet and short step combined. I thought about getting it from him, but it went underwater during Katrina and it really messed it up bad on the internal structures.

Re: Square body extended cabs
He and the truck are long gone now. I know he moved to Florida about a year after Katrina. Not sure who ended up with the truck, Sure wish I had the money back then for it.
