toying with ideas..

well.. just a wild hair.. i looove dinos crew cab! great stance and proportion... i plan on sitting the same height on 20's too..
sooo got me thinking.. my 66 regular cab.. would look good possibly extended cab, with a shortened short bed?
your guys's input!!! im allready at the point in my build where streching the frame isnt a big deal... and i could muster up a cab..just wondering if the proportions im going for are worth it..

I'm not really diggin' the shortened short bed. The regular short bed extended cab looks nice though.

I agree, regular shortbed. Besides it would be to hard to fit a sheet of plywood from the depot in the cut shorty bed!! Joseph

Re: toying with ideas..

I am thinking another option would be a stretched bed or one of those rare 9 foot beds. Kind of counteract the length of the crew cab?

Just a thought...........

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
