wayno Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I'd actually use this for the back portion of your crew cab, and do it as a KCC (King Crew Cab) That's a good idea. :) 1 Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 That's just what I am going to do . I tried to explain that earlier in the thread but figure no one got it . And I know it's different from the drawing,havent delta with drawing it . Cause I m building it ! Hahaha laughs the mad scientist !! 1 Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 thanks wayne , that is the plan but i do have a couple ideas on what to do about that . im thinking about doing something like i did with the " Lil Hooker " , so taking the cab into the bed , if i do that i will have to use another kc top . I tried to explain . And I know it still may not make sence , but I want leg room for 4 - 6 ' + people to be able to fit comfortably . So far the plan is coming together pretty good .

Jester Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 After DB explained in detail what he is planning, this thing is going to be looooooooong. Thanks man. I had a great time bench racing. I definitely will stop by when around. I don't get south very often anymore. Working iron took me down there a lot. Anytime you need an extra hand, let me know. I'll be there. Now get going. I'm anxiously waiting.................... 1 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 You are making good progress! It might be easier to get a couple 20" lengths of 2" x 4" rectangle tubing to work your cut up cabs on. Build yourself a square and level rack to work on. Might help to keep things aligned. This is going to need 2 football fields to turn in! LOL This is similar to how I plan to do my 520. I plan on stretch the hood and fender to have more engine room and add 6 to 12 inches in between the front and rear doors. You will definitely be helping me avoid some problems. 1 Quote Link to comment

You will definitely be helping me avoid some problems. that kinda what i planned , i am going to most of the work on a pretty big welding table . i am going to set it up inside the shop and should be able to do most of the fab work there . and the turning wont normal for sure , but shouldnt be to bad , i have a plan for the bed , i am going to take some off the front and back of the bed . pretty close to the picture.
