I sure hope they got that paint on sale. Man, it looks like he lost a bet.

 

Look in my gallery!!

 

Anyone stretch a 2nd gen quad cab? I would sure love about 12" more rear seat/cab space. The only difficult part seems to be matching the quad cab suicide door to the front full door....any comments?

 

from Mcmopar's gallery



thats awesome!! i wonder where the rear doors came from?

 

That's good humor

 

Actually I was thinking of keeping the suicide rear door but trying to figure a way to add 12" in there giving you the interior room.

 

High_bid: that's the way to go!!

Double the lenght of your suicide doors and you get the best look of all pick-up cab types and the leg room of a crew cab!
I'm jealous for you if you manage to do that.

My best bet would be to buy a another qc cab and take the rear doors and weld them together and use use the spare parts cab floor and roof for the extension.

 

Just in the "planning/ideas" stage now. I was looking again this AM and thought it might be easier to chop the cab just after the suicide door then you won't have all the door mods. From what I think....you'd then have frame, electrical, fuel line, driveshaft and sheet metal roof-sides-floor modifications. It would almost look like a 2nd Gen Mega-CAb....No? Hey....there's an Idea...I'd be the first member!

 

The more I think about this idea, the more the addiction is taking over. 2nd gen mega-cab.

 

DO IT!!!!Love the idea. My friends mega cab is awesome for cab room. I am to cheap to have a truck payment so it will be a few years before i start buying mega cabs. So I am sticking a '98 cummins with a nv-4500 into my old '85 crew cab.

 

Anyone have any more pics of 1st gen trucks that have been extended this way?? I just got the roof cut off my crew cab and am waiting for the 78 club cab that I bought to be delivered so I can start....

I guess I'm just looking for inspiration.

 

I knew a guy on RCC years ago that did this. He went by the username of killercuda. He had the whole thing pretty much finished up and one day disappeared from the forum and has yet to return.

 

Still thinking this issue over. I have the frame, wiring, brake, and fuel line concepts down. Just thinking more about the driveshaft and cab mods. Anyone have an idea on the thickness of the cab steel? I'm thinking 1-3/16th? I don't want to make it too long but somewhere inbetween a s/b and l/b as parking can be an issue. Ideas Ideas....

 

Ive wonder about just graphting on the rear of a94-97 club cab behind the quad cab doors.
