I thought they never made a crew cab long box. But I was obviously wrong.

when putting a crew cabs on club cab frame, do you have to modify the cab to make it fit? Or just make new body mounts?

Crew Cab long box were all 2WD. I converted one to 4X4 already. Crew cabs only fit on (unmodified) crew frames.

No, I'm always looking but never find exactly what I'm looking for.... Heck, I'm not even sure I know what I want yet!

Part of me just wants to go 2WD dually and make it just as comfy as possible for long distance hauling.. Another part wants to make it a bad edit 4WD.

Some real camera shots.
