So I'm cruising down the road today with DTR member Deavy Huty and I see a Megacab long bed SRW siting on the side of the road!!
so we turned around to snap some phone photo's!!
It was not done yet it was only at this shop for the lift.
The pic in the middle shows how much longer it is then a 05 QC longbed or a stock megacab..
I also grabbed a tape and measured the wheelbase it was-181" compared to a stock mega with a 160" wheelbase this thing is SOOOOOOOO long in person!!!!!

body mount, notice the body mount is also a giant truss/cross-member. Bed mounts, fuel line splice and some plating.

Now that is a long truck

last 3, more plating and cross member shot's.
we also measured the frame addition and they added 21" worth of box tubing. witch is right based on the wheelbase measurement.
the guy at the shop told me that the guy who owned it also owned a construction company and he had the guy who repairs his backhoe buckets build it for him.
It also had a 7" lift.

Do you know what shop is building it???

I already forgot the name of the construction company...and he did not say the builders name.

Was it in Utah county?

That thing is HUGE!!!!!!!!! However, it's TOO long to be a SRW, it needs to be a Dually in my opinion!

Not to long in my book but one smooth ride. But parking and turning might be a problem. Love to have one.

I agree needs to be a DRW. Also I wonder why the splice plate is not fully welded out? I would think it would be a place for rust to start between the plates. I can see a stitch weld if they were concerend with vibration starting a crack in the weld but to just leave 1 spot open? The fab work looks very good on it though alot of time was spent doing it right.

That truck would look incredble with 37" toyo mts, dont know why DC doesnt make those trucks, it would be a hot item up here for oilfield crews.

When a frame is extended and fish plated like that, its very common to not weld the vertical seam. Has to do with heat input. To much weld is sometimes weaker then to little.

So will that be covered under the Extended Warranty?
Very nice fab work very professional looking. Wish you could get some pics with the new wheels on.

the guy said it was going to get 22's and 37's.
hopefully I can see it around town when it's done and get some more pic's

I think once it gets wheels and tires it will look even better, but it does look out of proportion with the stock wheels and tires.
