Link to my member log in if you notice the dates of the post you realize the truck has been around for a few years now, I sas'd it Spring/summer of 07 and attended the Mcr that year.  Since then tons of finer details and modification, but because of  some tragic events i decided a build thread is needed.

the box, Mcr  08



i'm sure many of you have seen this rig in tons of other threads i have been wheelin with avid marlin forum users!

Friday July 24th 09, 6:40 Am

On my way to work tired from a night of freakin with the ol lady i fell asleep on Hwy 20 west bound to penn valley (5 miles west of Grass Valley), Crossed 3 lanes of traffic (on coming lanes also) drove off the road

Looking west down Hwy 20 on the south side of the road  about 1 mile west of the Nevada county fair grounds



My uncle owns a brush clearing service, he has a masticator and it looks like a mastictor made that path so a friend of mine put his sign up as a joke

Carnage of my stupidity and neglect

That weekend i found a really good deal on a new cab.... but an extended cab

      thegoofster21 and his wife helped tons to pull that cab, Thanks guys

[binojames]

I don't want ANYONE to say this thread is worthless without pics!!

[binojames]

so i started to disassemble my truck, and the new cab also, it was a v6 cab and i have a standard cab 4 cyl.  so i had to unwire 2 cabs and rewire the new on... FUN. 

[binojames]

At this point i was waiting for some parts and still deciding on what to do, So i painted the cab fenders and hood  "brilliant teal metallic"

[binojames]

The new cab wasn't going to clear the rear wheels. I have to extend the wheel base!   slight problem I bob'd my old bed 14 inches and hacked off about 8 inches of frame.... unless i extend the frame i couldn't use my marlin 5" inch springs. I wasn't always completely satisfied with the flex of springs, but my marlins did great for a few years! I decided to 4 link the rear to extend my wheel base. I know everyone has there differences with trail-gear but i went ahead and purchased the trial- gear 4 link.  When i ran into more problems but some minor cutting and welding it WORKs!



Trail-gear 4 link x-memeber slides inbetween the frame rails but then sits about 4 inches Above the frame rails which wasn't going to allow the extended cab to sit low enough.







 

[binojames]

Just droped the cab

[binojames]

Old fenders hood and doors where used ... but painted ,   in the pic it is pretty much done... but i need to rebuild the cage, and the bed will be some sort of tube workings and also my big    gas tank will be mounted  in the back somewhere   I'm running the old vin (dash and Sticker) frame numbers match so as long as no one runs my vin i will be fine 

sad but not running yet but very soon the tubing came in Thursday and i will be bending it at a shop here in town but i have to work around the owner, pretty much when he says i can use the bender and tie up some space in the shop

[binojames]

yeah EVERYTHING... I even did the gauge cluster so it matches and also the v6 had all options crusie control so i had to put my old turn signals, headlight switches behind the steeringwheel and for shits and giggles i changed the key cluster so my old key works to match my old doors, the dash even had different brackets i had to use the old brakets. the fire wall/ fenders are different so i made do with the power steering res. I used the  old clutch pedal brackety out of the old truck and alot of lil
