This is my exo cage inspiration thread.  I can live with a tube wrapped truck.  I couldn't live with one like that.

Thanks Ron  :cool: . . . Nope , I don't like prunes . I am going to restore it back to what it was  :yesnod: 

Yeah, I knew you couldn't do that. Should be easy to find a new cab since it is a og 2wd.

Hey Infernal, is there enough wheelbase on that frame to fit a Double Cab on there?  You know, your boys aren't going to get any smaller...........

 That was one of my thoughts at first but I would have to definitely stretch the frame and don't want to do that . I love the idea of my boys being enclosed .

Threres a guy on Fresno craigslist with a 2wd 3.4 single cab with some front end damage. He says he'll take $350 for the cab with interior.  Sounds like the cab is all he has left.  Here's his number. 559-284-2031.     

  I'd post a link but I'm on my phone.
