Actually, it is the third pic, but good catch!

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.

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.
