Hi guys I am the brother that built the truck. On the frame question , the cab is stretched 20" and 8" was added to a long bed frame. I did notice the rear wheels looked a little off but the bed is bolted in the factory holes . If you have any other questions feel free to ask.....

**Canadian694x4** · 02-14-2005, 07:40 PM

Sweet Work...Nicely Done!

4x4Poet · 02-15-2005, 05:50 AM

Absolutely gorgeous. I hope you'll post some pics of it with whatever tires the truck finally gets.

72402 · 02-15-2005, 09:46 AM

One thing the boys didn't mention that I think really makes this truck unique is that the rear windows will be functional. They have power regulators just like the doors. It also has a TBI350/700R-4 setup and aftermarket A/C system.

396 SS · 02-25-2005, 08:00 PM

Hey guys almost done with it , hope to have more pictures with wheels and glass pretty quick.

silvertonguedevil · 02-25-2005, 08:10 PM

Already has been mentioned several times.....but that is one slick lookin' ride. I have never been much of a fan of the extended cabs but holy crap! I would stab around in that for sure. Nice work!!

SLS · 02-25-2005, 08:12 PM

Very nice! I agree with some of the other guys about it looking more 'factory' than the factory would have done it. Fantastic job! Maybe you should show Boyd Coddington how it is REALLY done!

68gmcdually · 02-25-2005, 09:18 PM

I agree that looks amazing. I hope mine turns out looking that great.

70 shorty · 02-25-2005, 09:49 PM

I'll agree that it has to be probably the best extended cab I have seen. Your brother did an excellent job making it look like it should.

*Randy70C-10* · 02-25-2005, 10:45 PM

Sweet truck!!

nathank · 02-26-2005, 11:14 AM

niiiice. I like it!!

67shortie · 02-26-2005, 12:16 PM

Very talented work, now that's what I need to do to get some more legroom in mine

Very nice job.

barn9 · 02-26-2005, 12:57 PM

I agree with everyone else, WOW! Can't wait to see those final pics!

npauto · 10-20-2005, 01:36 AM

Searching the board for info on extended cab projects when I came across this old thread. Are there any pictures of the completed project
Bagged74 can u fill us in on some of the specs and or do you have more pictures of the truck; am very interested in how it turned out
BTW excellent work indeed

sixty8c10 · 10-20-2005, 05:51 PM

wow!

krue · 10-20-2005, 10:48 PM

This one definitely needs to be seen again! One of the best excabs I've seen.

396 SS · 10-21-2005, 01:27 AM

I do have a few pictures but it won't let me post attachments. I will try to get them up in a few days

mocwon · 10-21-2005, 08:48 AM

Simply outstanding!!! Top notch craftmanship that stacks up to any of the high dollar customizers around.

hotrodmtodd · 10-21-2005, 09:08 AM

That is EXACTLY how I have envisioned doing an X-cab. You've got to get rid of the curves between the windows, which is exactly what you DID. Then you've got to use the curves in the rear windows, which you also DID. I applaud you in having the foresight to do it RIGHT. I think this will be a benchmark for MANY trucks to come. Once I get done with my DRIVER SIDE REAR Burb door conversion, and my 67-72 SLEEPER CAB project, I can see what I will be using my extra Burb doors for! Thanks for sharing this with all of us you guys. Take care, Mike

jsbgump · 10-21-2005, 11:27 AM

That is the best looking extended cab I have ever seen

We all look forward to the new pics. You did an OUTSTANDING job on the truck and that is an understatement! That's how I would want mine to look. Like it was factory designed and built. Great work.

396 SS · 10-22-2005, 10:37 PM

it worked today

72MARIO · 10-23-2005, 11:12 AM

Very Nice. I can appricate the amout of hours involved to build that truck

ChevLoRay · 10-23-2005, 01:24 PM

I see "Attached Images" but no image. So, what's up with my 'puter? I'm on DSL, so I don't think bandwidth is the problem...and other posts with pictures show up. Anybody else got this problem? I'd like to see the image.

**Canadian694x4** · 10-23-2005, 01:34 PM

Sweet Wheels! Your Work is Amazing! Great Truck!
