Going to be doing this project in the next month or so and was looking for any info anyo ne had on it. Things that I should be watching out for.

reg cab/short bed trucks used shorter frame then the x-cab trucks, or reg cab/long box trucks.

You will have to proibly weld rear mounts for the cab, and shorten your bed..

double bob on the bed if you keep it...a few inches out of the front of the bed etc.

Yup yup. Got that far, I was giong to take as much off as I could drop my 3" BL to a 1" and trim up another 2- 2 1/2" off fender wells. Just wondering if the gastank fits and all that jazz. Any one come across any buildup on this?
Thanks for the answers so far.

Bump, NAda?

Your talking about an extended cab right?

I thought you meant this...


BTW- there is an identical truck to this near where I live that never moves...hmm

DupermanDave

I just threw up again. THANKS!

Say's the one using a k&n

iamsuperbleeder

that would be neat look'n I think, if done right

kinda like Chevy's doing with their full-size PU's; 4 door, and a shorter bed

granted the Toy wont be 4-door (unless you're inporting it ), but it would still look cool IMO

I think it's a cool idea. The Extended cab is not comfortable for passengers so extending a regular cab to a double would create some nice passenger/storage space.

Wait.......wouldn't it be easier to chop the top off a 4Runner?

A taco extended cab swap. Looks good IMO:

the horsecollar crossmember may be a little close to the floorboard on the swap for just a 1" body lift might want to keep it 1.5" or that is the case with the 84 to 89 body style. urs may be different. do the swap with the 3 " first before u cut it down.

There is one of those in town that's a turbo.... oh if it ever comes up for sale I'm going to do my best to snag it.

dwnhiller93

that thing is uuuggly. I would never buy something like that

camo31_10.50

i got that beat junkers..theres an '84 around here with a 6" lift on it..36's..4.88's and a 4.3L Vortec V6..CPI even and 5spd...it's got a lil cancer though..but it would totally be worth it...it was for sale stock with just the lift and tires for $4000...idk if he wants to sell it now..but i'm sure he'd want $6,000..lmao

DupermanDave

If someone is really desperate, there's a shop around here (Fort Collins, CO) that has some Nissans that look exactly like that as well as a few toyotas. It's a repair shop, not a dealer, but I'm sure they'll sell them. The owner is using them for parts while he builds up his own.

iamsuperbleeder

see that right there is just AWESOME looking IMO

those king cab trucks are sweet imo.
it's like a bobbed 4runner, without the hassle of bobbing the 4runner.
and you keep a fullsize bed.

iamsuperbleeder

Honestly, those wouldn't look so god-awful ugly if the roof didn't protrude up in the back like it does...

peow130

they don't even look ugly at all lol. they're supposed to have a canopy on them, anyways..
and if you didnt like it, cut the top of that off and fiberglass in a lower one, and new windows and stuff.
