Re: Square body extended cabs
I thought so! The truck and the shop looked familiar.

Re: Square body extended cabs
The metal around the windows is just flat sheetmetal and should be easy to dublicate. The most complex curve is the body line below the window which is just the sheet metal that was removed when the bed was shortened.

Re: Square body extended cabs
I have seen the truck in person, the rust is an easy fix and all x-cabs had a skim coat of bondo from the conversion process. From what I have heard from those who know, this one is done by the best conversion company of the five.

Re: Square body extended cabs
MtTenery are you going to keep that seat? I have the white crew cab dually and I want a period correct seat for the rear. The one that's in it is one of those benches that breaks down into a bed, not very comfortable at all to sit in.

Re: Square body extended cabs
I'm glad I ran across this thread. Never even knew these existed. I thought I saw one in town the other day and pretty near gave myself whiplash trying to get a better look at it. I feel better now!

Re: Square body extended cabs
If someone snags that truck in GrandIsland I have a bunch of friends and family not far from there that would be happy to keep it secure until it was picked up.
Just like to help a fellow enthusiast out!

Re: Square body extended cabs
I just picked up this 1985 Extended cab c30. It has a Overland coach badge on the tailgate. No documentation in the cab that I've seen so far. Has been setting a long time.
