the back windows do roll all the way down, and it will have a functioning back seat.

Duffy · 01-20-2004, 01:39 AM

Wow, that is awesome. We need more pics and more details. Please please please! I am contemplating doing a similar project and any info, advice etc. would be appreciated!

the stretch was accomplished using pieces from two cabs, one pair of truck doors and one pair of suburban doors. If you look at the back window you will notice it has the same curve as the pickup window. You will also notice that the front corner of the window is square as is the top of the door from the suburban. I believe this is the way GM would have done it if they were going to. It just seems to look more natural than some others I have seen.

1969 GMC · 01-20-2004, 02:09 AM

that looks sweet! cant wait to see it finished.

*1972C10* · 01-20-2004, 02:28 AM

That looks really nice is he useing a standard shortbed or a cut down longbed?

MAC67 · 01-20-2004, 02:45 AM

boy that would sure be awfully sweet on a 4wd frame ,, not that it doesnt look sweet now ,, and i agree that looks factory ,, a+ job ,, looks great

*dtlilly* · 01-20-2004, 03:30 AM

I'd find a 133" wheel base C-30 to put that on, and go with a regular short bed. Looks sweet non the less, can't wait to see it done.

Solver · 01-20-2004, 12:56 PM

More pics if you have them please!
love to see pics of the stages before that stage
That is going to be an awesome truck!

griesel72 · 01-20-2004, 01:24 PM

It is one of the more natural trucks i have seen lately, he does nice work

TEXAS 68 · 01-20-2004, 01:33 PM

That is diffinately some awsome work, wonder how much time is already put into it.

rambler · 01-20-2004, 03:02 PM

Very Nice,, I like it,, thats what I would love to do, keep us informed please!

**Canadian694x4** · 01-20-2004, 03:44 PM

Very Sweet, I definitely look forward to seeing any progress!

Smooth68 · 01-20-2004, 04:09 PM

Nice choice for window size - good start!

**Yukon Jack** · 01-20-2004, 05:48 PM

Looks great!!!

SWEET7T · 01-20-2004, 06:07 PM

Awesome!!! I would love to do something like that, but I'd be sure to jack something up in the process.

If I ever start, I would probably take a Burb cab and cut/weld/slap it on my frame and then put a shortbed in place of the longbed.

Love the way that looks!!!!!!!!

dinnut · 01-20-2004, 06:07 PM

definitely a lot of work! it looks good tho. it will look pretty natural when finished and is going to be a good looking truck. what all is he gonna do to it

Jace's68 · 01-20-2004, 06:57 PM

That's one of the best looking extended cabs I've seen. Almost looks like a factory job.

bebop52 · 01-21-2004, 12:58 AM

Sweeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huck · 01-21-2004, 11:06 AM

Got my vote for the best looking extended cab design!!! Would he like to do one for me???? please, pretty please~~~~???

Duffy · 01-21-2004, 11:48 AM

How about posting the dimensions of the extra cab, the small window and the post between the two windows. That is just such a nice looking setup I want to duplicate it! Thanks....
