single to ext-cab? yes or no?
« on: Nov 23, 2008, 12:11:08 PM »
ive been thinking about trying to find an extended cab to put on my frame to have more interior room.  and since i moved my rear end back i think it would look clean if i moved the bed back centered over my rear wheels them bobed it.  would if be worth the work or better to jus get a different truck to start with?
heres a pic of it now.

Chicks dig body damage! 
build it to beat it!

Ive seen a few of them on Pirate. They look good, but you end up with almost NO room in a bed.

What I was trying to say is that he wont have much bed left for storage.
Below is a pic of a extra cab on a std cab frame

I also taught him how to put in 5min of hard work and then spend 15min staring and admiring what you have done...

go for it, it would be sweet, is that a long bed? cause if it is, u could run a short bed on it, or your bobbed longbed would be about the same length as a stock shortbed.
