all i can say is that i wanna ride in that "short" bus lol that will be very very cool, specially if it might be a long box.

 

Its a Crew cab long box frame so I'm just gonna use a short box...

 

darn. i like long boxes better IMO but still, a very cool project

 

I agree but also need to be able to turn around in the same zip code.

 

Come on with all that fab work you cannot fab up some rear steering??? That would be nice in a long box but I see why you want a short box. Nice work so far and I cannot wait to see it done. Very very nice work so far keep it up.

 

Hey even a better idea would be to put cross over steering on it then it will turn better then the New truck's my longbed crew turned sharper then my 08 does ?If you can't put a sheet of plywood in the bed n close the gate why drive it???????????????????

 

Oh come on.... They still fit with the gate down!

 

But come on to make that truck look right it's going to need a longbed other wise it won't look right just like the Mega cab's And yes they may fit but you can't close the gate and haul **** lol

 

Man, what is everybody's facination with hauling sheets of plywood. Of all the things i have hauled around in the back of my pick-up, plywood is just one small part. I have no problem slipping a strap on my load to keep it where I put it. Compared to the several times a day I park in a lot built for modren little disposable cars, the inconvenience of the occaisional tailgate down plywood tote is pretty minimal. For reg. and club cabs, I like a long bed, but the short bed on my crew never bothered me at all.

 

Maybe they are die hard skaters and like to build a lot of half pipes

 

Last time I bought a 4X8 I used my Cherokee and utility trailer even though the W150 (dubbed "the love bubble" because of its topper by my co-workers ) was sitting right there, so I dunno what to tell ya.

It doesn't look that bad with the topper on it.... Does it??

 

Don't get me wrong it's going to be a Sweet looking truck but as big as the cab is going to be to make it look even and make it look like a well built rig the bed should be a 8 ft 1 but yes I do understand what you say about the Tiny parking spot's they are a Pain in the Rear .You are putting crossover steering on that Beast aren't you ?and if you want some real nice 325-85R-16's let me know that would really make it nice

 

simplysmm do you have a stock pyle of 325's if so i would like a set as for the long bed it comes in very handy and it looks better with the cab mod however i worked for the company in lehi,ut that did the megacab long beds and you cant park any where but the back forty and drive thrus are a thing of the past.

 

Yes I have several set's and can get more PM me for more info
I had and am working on another longbed crewcab 4x4 and once I put the cross over steering on It turned Great Better then my 08 longbed quadcab does I have had very few problem's with drive thru's if there is a small curb No problem that's what big tires are for

Agreed, with the mini-bus up front, it would look good with some real estate out back. On the other hand, I'm the guy driving around in a clubcab with a 4'4" bed.
