Re: Fiberglass crew cab body

I have only seen one and it was built from 2 standard cab body's. For that kind of money I can buy a perfect truck from out west.

Re: Fiberglass crew cab body

I have been trying to locate a fiberglass "race" weight body and I dont think anyone on this planet has attempted to make one.

Wonder if there is any other interest out there if I could find someone to build one?

My impression is that US Body Source in Florida will make anything you want, provided you give them a good core -

Perhaps you should look into acid dipping a steel cab....

X2 out west. Crew cabs are around if you look - some are diesel 3+3. Why deal with rust of bad fit? Maybe $800 will ship a truck cross country if you are willing to wait.
